Situating the 1857 Indian uprising within an imperial context, Jill
C. Bender traces its ramifications across the four different
colonial sites of Ireland, New Zealand, Jamaica, and southern
Africa. Bender argues that the 1857 uprising shaped colonial
Britons' perceptions of their own empire, revealing the
possibilities of an integrated empire that could provide the
resources to generate and 'justify' British power. In response to
the uprising, Britons throughout the Empire debated colonial
responsibility, methods of counter-insurrection, military
recruiting practices, and colonial governance. Even after the
rebellion had been suppressed, the violence of 1857 continued to
have a lasting effect. The fears generated by the uprising
transformed how the British understood their relationship with the
'colonized' and shaped their own expectations of themselves as
'colonizer'. Placing the 1857 Indian uprising within an imperial
context reminds us that British power was neither natural nor
inevitable, but had to be constructed.
