The creation of the League of Nations Permanent Mandates Commission (PMC) at the close of World War I and its successor, the United Nations Trusteeship Council (TC), following World War II, were watersheds in the history of modern imperialism. For the first time, the international community had asserted that the well-being of colonial peoples was not merely the private concern of metropolitan states, but a shared responsibility of humankind that transcended national boundaries. Editors R.M. Douglas, Michael D. Callahan, and Elizabeth Bishop have assembled a wide array of scholars to assess the relative weight to be placed on international influence in the process of decolonization. Across a broad cross-section of geographical and political settings, Imperialism on Trial reveals the operation of the complicated and often conflicted dynamic between the national and international dimensions of colonialism in its final and most historically consequential phase.

Kenyan-born novelist and playwright Ngugi wa Thiong’o and his collaborator, Micere Githae Mugo, have built a powerful and challenging play out of the circumstances surrounding the 1956 trial of Dedan Kimathi, the celebrated Kenyan hero who led the Mau Mau rebellion against the British colonial regime in Kenya and was eventually hanged. A highly controversial character, Kimathi’s life has been subject to intense propaganda by both the British government, who saw him as a vicious terrorist, and Kenyan nationalists, who viewed him as a man of great courage and commitment. Writing in the 1970s, the playwrights’ response to colonialist writings about the Mau Mau movement in The Trial of Dedan Kimathi is to sing the praises of the deeds of this hero of the resistance who refused to surrender to British imperialism. It is not a reproduction of the farcical “trial” at Nyeri. Rather, according to the preface, it is “an imaginative recreation and interpretation of the collective will of the Kenyan peasants and workers in their refusal to break under sixty years of colonial torture and ruthless oppression by the British ruling classes and their continued determination to resist exploitation,oppression and new forms of enslavement.”

In the last decades of the British Raj, anti-colonial writers staged scenes of crime and punishment, trial and testimony, in order to interrogate the legitimacy of imperialism itself. This project examines questions of justice in British and Indian novels, with a focus on the 1920s and 1930s. I begin with a historical survey, stretching from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. Western authors imagine India as a space of mystery and transgression, in tales that trade in sensationalism as well as pseudoscientific theories of race. At the same time, Enlightenment and Liberal thinkers used Eurocentric notions of "civilization" to justify exploitation and conquest. The effect of both trends was to criminalize Indian cultures. In this contested space, a "crime" is not limited to a prosecutable act. Anti-colonial writers turn the criminal domain inside out, taking guilt off the back of the "unruly" native to indict the state itself. In A Passage to India (1924), E. M. Forster uses the trial as an allegory for the imperial condition. In this racially- and sexually-charged space, it takes a set of dissenting, hybrid voices to disrupt the preordained script of Indian guilt. When state justice fails, healing is possible only in willed acts of interpersonal justice. George Orwell paints a bleaker picture in Burmese Days (1934), where all institutions are corrupt, and native enforcers (even a judge) are tainted by that corruption. Orwell's essays, "Shooting an Elephant" (1936) and "A Hanging" (1931), unmask the violent rituals of empire, finding a shared humanity in the body of the condemned. Raja Rao also interrogates the role of local collaborators, in Kanthapura (1938), yet he shifts focus away from law enforcers and onto the dissenters who protest that law. Rao creates a myth not only around Gandhi, but also around the novel's fictional village, as they imagine new forms of community. Only when all Indians unite, he suggests-across religion, gender, geography, and caste-can a form of grassroots justice prevail.

Excerpt from Anti-Imperialism The influence of an alien race upon the growth of American liberty and the success of our weighty trial in popular government is therefore grave. We ought to see from experience that we have no fitness for gov erning, assimilating, or uplifting 'derelict' races, and that contact with them in the alleged attempt to do so depraves us.
