She and Satia agree that public outcries against injustice—such as the brutal suppression of the 1865 uprising at Morant Bay, Jamaica, and the 1919 Amritsar Massacre, in which soldiers under British command fired into a crowd of nonviolent Indian protesters—often amounted to a scapegoating of individuals and the laundering of the nation’s conscience. ‘There was great joy to see the land,’ the Baptist preacher David George recalled.

Reviewer John Powers says Jasanoff… They soon developed a language, Krio, an English creole heavily laced with African loan words; their descendants, the Krio, form a distinct ethnic group. Civilization evolves in stages, the logic ran; Britain had reached a higher stage than its colonies; therefore Britain had a moral duty to lift them up.

Now, the bricks of the great house are held together by vines and roots, the guns are dislodged from their emplacements, and the slate grave markers in the island’s small cemetery have been smashed and stolen by vandals for sharpening machetes.
