Imperial Powers and Humanitarian Interventions
The Zanzibar Sultanate, Britain, and France in the Indian Ocean, 1862–1905
«
"Imperial Powers and Humanitarian Interventions is an essential contribution to the diplomatic and legal history of the second half of the nineteenth century. It shows how the concept of humanitarian intervention emerged on the fringes of the British, Omani and French empires during the suppression of the slave trade, paving the way for the modern history of human rights."
- Sue Peabody, Meyer Distinguished Professor of History and Liberal Arts, Washington State University.
"Imperial Powers and Humanitarian Interventions is an important work. Using French and British diplomatic sources for the first time, it explores the complex relationship between the humanitarian dynamics of the 19th-century anti-slavery movement and the operations of the British Royal Navy, as well as European imperialism in East Africa."
- Professor Gwyn Campbell, Canada Research Chair in Indian Ocean World History, and Director of the Indian Ocean World Centre, McGill University.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, the Zanzibar Sultanate became the focal point of European imperial and humanitarian policies, most notably Britain, France, and Germany. In fact, the Sultanate was one of the few places in the world where humanitarianism and imperialism met in the most obvious fashion. This crucial encounter was perfectly embodied by the iconic meeting of Dr. Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley in 1871. This book challenges the common presumption that those humanitarian concerns only served to conceal vile colonial interests. It brings the repression of the East African slave trade at sea and the expansion of empires into a new light in comparing French and British archives for the first time.
