An Empire on Trial is the first book to explore the issue of
interracial homicide in the British Empire during its height -
examining these incidents and the prosecution of such cases in each
of seven colonies scattered throughout the world. It uncovers and
analyzes the tensions of empire that underlay British rule and
delves into how the problem of maintaining a liberal empire
manifested itself in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. The work demonstrates the importance of the processes of
criminal justice to the history of the empire and the advantage of
a trans-territorial approach to understanding the complexities and
nuances of its workings. An Empire on Trial is of interest to those
concerned with race, empire, or criminal justice, and to historians
of modern Britain or of colonial Australia, India, Kenya, or the
Caribbean. Political and post-colonial theorists writing on
liberalism and empire, or race and empire, will also find this book
invaluable.
