Therefore, politicians and businessmen considered the WAMS and the new tropical medicine important first steps for making Britain's West African possessions healthier and more profitable regions of the empire. However, rather than realising these goals, significant structural barriers, and the self-interest and conservatism this helped breed among medical officers, made the application of even the most basic public health measures extremely challenging. Like many policies emanating from Whitehall during this period, what made the WAMS and the new tropical medicine thoroughly imperial was nothing accomplished in practice, but the hopes and aspirations placed in them.</p>","PeriodicalId":512273,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History","volume":"38 3","pages":"419-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03086534.2010.503396","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29198330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In so doing they were following in the footsteps of Mauritius and the colonies of the West Indies. For these colonies the recruitment of Indians had provided an alternative source of labour to that of slaves, who, after emancipation in 1833, disdained, whenever they could, the back-breaking work of cutting cane. A booming sugar market in Britain, with the fact that cane was well suited to the semi-tropical coast of Natal, annexed in 1843, offered some prospect of a remunerative crop to that colony's fledgling white settler community. Natal had never possessed a slave economy. Confronted by the powerful Zulu state, and with ample thinly populated tribal land available in the interior, the colonists had no hope of coercing the resident African population to submit to the discipline of plantation labour. So, enviously eyeing their neighbours in Mauritius, they campaigned for the right to import Indian labour until finally their entreaties met with success. The prospect of prosperity at last lay before this impoverished British colony, annexed with no visible objective other than to keep it out of the hands of the Boers.","PeriodicalId":512273,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History","volume":"30 2","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03086530208583147","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28908732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He alleged that the new law would weaken the legal restrictions on the sale of alcohol to Africans in Kenya; this, the Archbishop said, would entail 'the worst of all possible acts which could be committed by us in our dealings with the East African races the facilitating of the sale of drink to the natives'. It is by no means clear that the proposed law would have had this effect. The sale of 'intoxicating liquor' to Africans was already illegal, and the administration in British East Africa (BEA) had actually committed itself to increasing the penalties for 'the sale of intoxicating liquor to natives'. As finally passed, the new law did indeed raise considerably the punishment in terms of fine and imprisonment for a first offence of this kind; and it introduced higher penalties for subsequent convictions: two to three years' prison for a third offence. It also, for the first time, introduced a punishment of imprisonment for Africans found in possession of 'intoxicating liquor'. The Archbishop's outburst was, apparently, an ill-informed one: it may have been inspired by the agitation of missionaries in BEA, who presumably hoped that invoking the prospect that Africans might get access to liquor would assist their campaign for restrictions on licences and hours of European drinking. In this they were correct.","PeriodicalId":512273,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History","volume":"29 3","pages":"55-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03086530108583127","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27124584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
