Empire of Neglect
Following the publication of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, nineteenth-century liberal economic thinkers insisted that a globally hegemonic Britain would profit only by abandoning the formal empire. British West Indians across the divides of race and class understood that, far from signaling an invitation to nationalist independence, this liberal economic discourse inaugurated a policy of imperial “neglect”—a way of ignoring the ties that obligated Britain to sustain the worlds of the empire’s distant fellow subjects. In Empire of Neglect Christopher Taylor examines this neglect’s cultural and literary ramifications, tracing how nineteenth-century British West Indians reoriented their affective, cultural, and political worlds toward the Americas as a response to the liberalization of the British Empire. Analyzing a wide array of sources, from plantation correspondence, political economy treatises, and novels to newspapers, socialist programs, and memoirs, Taylor shows how the Americas came to serve as a real and figurative site at which abandoned West Indians sought to imagine and invent postliberal forms of political subjecthood.

The Value and Meaning of Life
"Which lives, if any, are valuable, and to what extent? What sort, or sorts, of value do they have? Is life meaningful? What sorts of lives? And what sorts of meaning can they have? In this book Christopher Belshaw addresses these questions and more. He draws on earlier work concerning death, identity, animals, immortality and extinction to build a large-scale argument on the value and meaning of life. Rejecting suggestions that life is sacred or intrinsically valuable, Belshaw argues instead that its value varies - and varies considerably - both within and between different plants, animals and persons. The central chapters of the book focus on a key question: do we have sufficient reason to...
