­ here’s a lot of book ahead of us, so I’ll keep my acknowl­edgments


t
short. Although brief, e­ very thank you that follows is heartfelt. Each of
the groups and individuals mentioned has been fundamental in getting
me over the finishing line of a proj­ect that, in many ways, goes back over
thirty years. I owe huge debts of gratitude, first to the Leverhulme Trust,
which funded Major Research Fellowships and an International Research
Network that made the research and writing feasible. Another UK-­based
scholarly funder, the ­Independent Social Research Foundation, supported
a proj­ect on imperialist humanitarianism that brought me into lasting
contact with the inspiring community of ISRF fellows in social sciences
and the humanities. I’ve had constant support from colleagues and stu-
dents at the University of Exeter, whose Centers for Imperial and Global
History and for Histories of Vio­lence and Conflict have become terrific
forums for the exchange of ideas.
A wonderful 2019 semester at the Netherlands Institute of Advanced
Studies in Amsterdam, as part of the ‘Comparing the Wars of Decoloni-
zation’ proj­ect team led by Thijs Brocades Zaalberg and Bart Luttikhuis,
transformed my thinking about colonial vio­lence. For that, plus their g­ reat
com­pany, I thank all the team members, including Pierre Asselin, Huw
Bennett, Roel Frakking, Brian Linn, Peter Romijn, Stef Scagliola, and
Natalya Vince. (And thanks again for the All Bran, Natalya’s mom.) Visitors
to the proj­ect, including David Anderson, Saphia Arezki, Miguel Bandeira
Jerónimo, Raphaëlle Branche, Elizabeth Buettner, Rémy Limpach, and
Kim Wagner, helped me better understand how to approach decoloni-
zation conflicts. An international research network on ‘Understanding
Insurgencies’, co-­organized with my Exeter colleague Gareth Curless,
provided the platform for seven workshops over three years that, again,
proved how much we learn as historians of empire from collaborative
research across countries and disciplines: a special thank you to every­one
who took part. Closer to home, it’s been a p­ leasure and a privilege getting
to know Alex Zhukov and Tanya Zhukova.
Turning ideas into books needs the help of a g­ reat press. The team at
Prince­ton has been exemplary: generous with their time, thoughtful with
their comments, and patient with their author. To my editor, Priya Nelson,
production assistant, Emma Wagh, production editor, Natalie Baan, and
[ xv ]
[ xvi ] Ack now ledgmen ts

copyeditors, Gráinne O’Shea and Katherine Harper, a massive thanks. I’m


also indebted to Tarak Barkawi and Nicholas White. Their forensic analy­
sis as press readers was matched by their generosity of spirit in suggesting
improvements. I could not have asked for more. I thank Getty Images for
awarding image rights. And thank you to my co-authors, Andrew Thomp-
son and Roel Frakking, and to Cambridge University Press, Cornell Uni-
versity Press, and Oxford University Press for allowing me to use ele­ments
from chapter contributions I’ve published with them, credited below.
A last word to Suzy: thanks for every­thing; ­you’re the one.

Ending Empire and


Remaking the World

december 1963 fou nd Ba rba r a C ­ astle in K


­ enya. L
­ abour Party politi-
cian, writer, and parliamentary voice of Britain’s leading anticolonial pres-
sure group, the Movement for Colonial Freedom, C ­ astle arrived in Nairobi
on the 10th. She was t­ here to celebrate. Hours a­ fter her arrival, C ­ astle
attended a multiracial ‘civic ball’. Diary entries rec­ord her thrill at what
was to come: ‘Atmosphere so gay: races mixing equally and naturally—
so diff. from the old ­Kenya! I twisted and jived uninhibitedly and I felt
like a 20 yr old’.1 The next day brought wildlife-­watching before another
night of cele­bration. The e­ vening began with drinks on the terrace of the
Lord Delamere Bar, once an exclusive settler haunt, now, in C ­ astle’s oddly
colonialist m ­ etaphor, the ‘Piccadilly Circus of a world society’.2 Six hours
­later, ­Castle was an honored guest at the Uhuru (Freedom) Stadium for
­Kenya’s i­ ndependence ceremony. Other British dignitaries included Angli-
can priest and antiracism campaigner Michael Scott, Oxford anthropolo-
gist and Colonial Office adviser Margery Perham, the departing colonial
governor Malcolm MacDonald, and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
The duke took the salute of a King’s African R ­ ifles parade marching to the
strains of “Auld Lang Syne.” Jarringly inappropriate, the traditional invo-
cation of a freezing Scottish new year was meant to convey the warmth
between hosts and visitors. Besides, the regimental band knew it well—­
they ­were required to play it often. The ­music done, MacDonald offered
Britain’s congratulations to K ­ enya’s first president, Jomo Kenyatta, as
the ­Union Jack was lowered for the last time on the stroke of midnight,
December 11, 1963.3

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
