- W178751504 abstract "The colonial government of Cyprus was composed by an overwhelming majority of “indigenous” civil servants, headed by a handful of British administrators. Challenging the widely accepted representation of the Cypriot colonial civil servant as a mere performer of the British policy in Cyprus, this paper proposes a microanalysis of two cases taken from 1928: alternatively the recruitment of a higher, and the dismissal of a subaltern, Cypriot civil servant. Contrasting these two cases, the paper suggests that the split identity of the Cypriot civil servant, both a “Cypriot” and a “colonial official”, constituted a political stake both for the British authorities and the local press. It further suggests that the lower his position, the more the Cypriot colonial servant could actively participate in the elaboration of an identity which would safeguard certain of his rights, sometimes forcing his employer, the colonial government, to respect them. Introduction: Collaboration, Brokers and Native Colonial Civil Servants In the frame of Colonial Studies, the issue of “collaboration” between coloniser and colonial subjects has been approached with much circumspection, particularly because this concept referred primarily to the ideology developed by colonial administrators themselves according to which colonial rule rested upon the paternalistic cooperation between the colonial ruler and the indigenous subject.1 Nonetheless, in an article dated 1972, Ronald Robinson re-legitimised a study of “collaboration” which allegedly would provide an understanding as to how Europeans were able to uphold their colonial empires in spite of the weakness of their financial and human resources.2 Since then, some historians have taken up the adventurous task of studying patterns of “collaboration” between colonisers and colonial subjects and have offered as many interpretations as there are definitions for this term.3 Despite this diversity however, their common feature is to focus their analyses on the relation between the colonial state and the local broker, the latter being generally depicted as an influential and rising indigenous member of the colonial society, exchanging his informal services against a strengthening of his" @default.
