Malcolm – Soldier, Diplomat, Ideologue of British India

The Life of Sir John Malcolm (1769 - 1833)

By: John Malcolm

Highly regarded in India and Persia to this day, Sir John Malcolm is remarkably little known in his native Scotland. This book describes his extraordinary journey from modest origins to become a leading player in the transformation of the East India Company from a largely commercial enterprise into an agent of imperial government, during a crucial period of British and Indian political history. Born in 1769, Malcolm was one of seventeen children of a tenant farmer in the Scottish Borders. Leaving school, family and country at thirteen, he achieved distinction in India over the next half-century. A quintessential all-rounder, he excelled in many fields: as a professional soldier he campaigned with Wellington in south India and rose to Major-General; as an administrator, he pacified Central India and later became Governor of Bombay. He led three Company missions to Persia in the early stages of diplomatic rivalry between Britain and Russia, the Great Game. He was fluent in several languages, and wrote nine influential books, including The History of Persia. Based on extensive research in Britain, India and Iran, this biography brings to life the story of a talented and ambitious man living in a dramatic era of imperial history.

Witchfinders

A Seventeenth-Century English Tragedy

By: Malcolm Gaskill

Witchfinders

A Seventeenth-Century English Tragedy

By: Malcolm Gaskill

By spring 1645, two years of civil war had exacted a dreadful toll upon England. People lived in terror as disease and poverty spread, and the nation grew ever more politically divided. In a remote corner of Essex, two obscure gentlemen, Matthew Hopkins and John Stearne, exploited the anxiety and lawlessness of the time and initiated a brutal campaign to drive out the presumed evil in their midst. Touring Suffolk and East Anglia on horseback, they detected demons and idolators everywhere. Through torture, they extracted from terrified prisoners confessions of consorting with Satan and demonic spirits. Acclaimed historian Malcolm Gaskill retells the chilling story of the most savage witch-hunt in English history. By the autumn of 1647 at least 250 people--mostly women--had been captured, interrogated, and hauled before the courts. More than a hundred were hanged, causing Hopkins to be dubbed "Witchfinder General" by critics and admirers alike. Though their campaign was never legally sanctioned, they garnered the popular support of local gentry, clergy, and villagers. While Witchfinders tells of a unique and tragic historical moment fueled by religious fervor, today it serves as a reminder of the power of fear and fanaticism to fuel ordinary people's willingness to demonize others.

The Evolution of Middle Eastern Landscapes

An Outline to A.D. 1840

By: John Malcolm Wagstaff

This book provides a background to the modern geography of the Middle East by tracing the evolution of humanized managed landscapes from the domestication of cereals through to the initiation of the great transformations of the region in the mid-nineteenth century. By examining the natural potential of the region in terms of climate, natural vegetation and physical conditions, and charting the emergence of basic long-lasting traditional economies based on this environment, the author shows how the environment stimulated traditional life styles, which in turn perpetuated and molded the region.

Contesting Antiquity in Egypt

Archaeologies, Museums, and the Struggle for Identities from World War I to Nasser

By: Donald Malcolm Reid

The history of the struggles for control over Egypt's antiquities, and their repercussions, during a period of intense national ferment The sensational discovery in 1922 of Tutankhamun’s tomb, close on the heels of Britain’s declaration of Egyptian independence, accelerated the growth in Egypt of both Egyptology as a formal discipline and of ‘pharaonism'—popular interest in ancient Egypt—as an inspiration in the struggle for full independence. Emphasizing the three decades from 1922 until Nasser’s revolution in 1952, this compelling follow-up to Whose Pharaohs? looks at the ways in which Egypt developed its own archaeologies—Islamic, Coptic, and Greco-Roman, as well as the more dominant ancient Egyptian. Each of these four archaeologies had given birth to, and grown up around, a major antiquities museum in Egypt. Later, Cairo, Alexandria, and Ain Shams universities joined in shaping these fields. Contesting Antiquity in Egypt brings all four disciplines, as well as the closely related history of tourism, together in a single engaging framework. Throughout this semi-colonial era, the British fought a prolonged rearguard action to retain control of the country while the French continued to dominate the Antiquities Service, as they had since 1858. Traditional accounts highlight the role of European and American archaeologists in discovering and interpreting Egypt’s long past. Donald Reid redresses the balance by also paying close attention to the lives and careers of often-neglected Egyptian specialists. He draws attention not only to the contests between westerners and Egyptians over the control of antiquities, but also to passionate debates among Egyptians themselves over pharaonism in relation to Islam and Arabism during a critical period of nascent nationalism. Drawing on rich archival and published sources, extensive interviews, and material objects ranging from statues and murals to photographs and postage stamps, this comprehensive study by one of the leading scholars in the field will make fascinating reading for scholars and students of Middle East history, archaeology, politics, and museum and heritage studies, as well as for the interested lay reader.

SUMMARY OF LIFE OF WALTER CALDWELL ROBINSON

SUMMARY OF LIFE OF WALTER CALDWELL ROBINSON

By: Malcolm J. Walker

Get some sense in your head, some God in your heart, some money in your pocket, and a ballot in your hand!" This was a message by Walter Caldwell Robinson, who became known as the Silver-tongued Orator as he traveled the country, making speeches to black audiences for the National Republican Committee beginning in 1926. Walter C. Robinson was born the son of sharecroppers in Larkinsville, Alabama, in 1893. His family moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, when he was nine years old. At age 11, Walter worked a part-time job in a foundry each morning before going to school. By age 16, he was operating a laundry business of his own. Walter married his childhood sweetheart and fathered seven children. By age 21, he was a trustee in the Second Missionary Baptist Church. Walter became interested in politics and was elected chairman of the powerful Fourth Ward--the largest black voting precinct in Chattanooga at the time. He eventually organized all the chairmen of black wards and formed the Colored Voters League of Greater Chattanooga. The league became so powerful that it could determine winners in local elections. Walter was chosen alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention each election from 1928 to 1963. Walter C. Robinson and the Colored Voters League supported H. D. Huffacker for commissioner of education in 1927. Huffacker won and gave Robinson a job as a truant officer for the Chattanooga Public School System. His office was located in city hall. Robinson's power and duties extended far beyond keeping black boys and girls in school. The hiring of teachers, janitors, and cooks in the black schools was determined by Robinson. He also recommended the filling of positions in other departments of the city. Robinson worked in this capacity until a candidate that he opposed was elected commissioner of education in 1935. In 1933, Walter began publishing a black weekly newspaper: the Chattanooga Observer. It was the purpose of his newspaper to express his views to benefit the Republican Party, to defeat candidates in local elections felt by Robinson not to be in the best interest of black citizens, and for the purpose of enlightening and unifying the black community. Walter continued to be elected chairman of the Fourth Ward until 1959. He served as chairman of the Colored Voters League until his death. He published the Observer for thirty-five years--from 1933 to 1968. Walter Caldwell Robinson was a successful businessman, an outstanding orator, an astute politician, and a powerful leader. He labored in segregated Chattanooga during a time when the Ku Klux Klan was as revered as religion.
