Reviews
History writing once burnished the monument of imperial progress, and continues to do so for many audiences today. In her brilliant and coruscating account of the uses of history in the making and unmaking of the British empire, Priya Satia offers a striking new way of confronting the problems that continue to plague contemporary societies. This is a bravura performance., Illuminating and timely...unpacks the complicity between historians and empire...[Satia] exposes, often in deeply unsettling ways, the ethical confusion at the core of British imperial thought and the Enlightenment concepts of universal human experience...An electrifying read., Bracingly describes the ways imperialist historiography has shaped visions of the future as much as the past since the nineteenth century., Deeply thought-provoking and incisively argued, Time's Monster is sure to become a classic for anyone interested in European empires and the role of history in shaping human behavior. In this extraordinary book, Priya Satia weaves wide-ranging evidence into a lively narrative, proving incontrovertibly why she is one of the most important historians of our time., Satia delivers volley after volley of ferocious attacks on 'the self-pitying liberal view of empire.'...Raises an important question about whether historians are prosecutors and history is a court in which judgments should be passed on accused individuals., Groundbreaking...Demonstrates how a wide variety of thinkers, stretching from the eighteenth century to the present, thought about and through history to uphold, contest, and remake British imperialism. Its nuance, its breadth of material, its insight, and its relevance to the present all make this book unmissable., A pathbreaking study of the historical imagination's founding in colonialism. Moving from historical counternarratives to antihistorical thinking and poetry, Priya Satia guides us through important new ways of understanding the imperial past and its effects on our shared future., Stimulating...Suggests that what is missing is in fact a critical look at the discipline of History itself, and that such an examination, far from securing History as the ready-made answer to fascism and racism, reveals an internal structure that was, until quite recently, predicated entirely on maintaining oppression across the globe...Brilliant analysis and searing critique...A necessary book for scholars of empire and for historians more generally., [A] sweeping new book...It is both urgently of its time, responding to the exigencies of the present political moment, and timeless in its broader lessons about how to think about and do history...Will serve as an invaluable resource in efforts to decolonize and reimagine the pursuit of knowledge in a world in crisis., Impassioned, searching...Usefully highlight[s] what is at stake, even today, in writing about the empires of the past., In this searing book, Priya Satia demonstrates, yet again, that she is one of our most brilliant and original historians. Time's Monster casts new light on the British Empire by homing in on a fundamental question--how did 'good' men, acutely concerned with their consciences, preside over systematic exploitation and repeated atrocities? Satia shows that only if we grapple with the complicity of historians in assuaging their moral qualms can we confront empire's darkest legacies in our troubled world., A sweeping account of the relationship between British historical thought and imperialism from Viscount Bolingbroke's Letters on the Study and Use of History (1735) to recent postcolonial scholars such as Dipesh Chakrabarty and Shashi Tharoor...An impressive feat of historical research., Presents a surprising, contrarian argument about the history of colonialism. It argues the abuses committed by modern empires occurred not in spite of their belief in historical progress but because of it., Satia's book is impressive in scope, and she tackles a large oeuvre of political and intellectual history. Her book is a useful introduction for anyone seeking to learn about the history of History and its logics of time, agency, and purpose, or the ways in which scholars themselves write and thus shape the canyons of human affairs., A deeply insightful account of the way historical thinking informs the exercise of power. If historians are to play a positive role in the struggle to bend the arc of human history away from tyranny and toward justice, the lessons of this book should weigh heavily on our collective conscience. But more than that, this work is indispensable for anyone who wants to understand how the way we know the past shapes our future possibilities., As people around the globe struggle against a world order that owes its existence to rampant resource exploitation and dehumanizing beliefs about racial hierarchies, Priya Satia has given us a timely and powerful reminder about the complicity of history, as a discipline, in the making of that order., Time's Monster is not a conventional history...The conclusion [Satia] arrives at ultimately is that it was the discipline of History itself, ever since its emergence as a field of academic inquiry in nineteenth century Europe, that provided well-intentioned, highly-educated Western liberals with a set of ethical tools for the management of their consciences as they unleashed murderous violence on 'backward' peoples across the planet...Built into the foundations of History, and indeed, many other disciplines in the Humanities, is the repression of some of the most important questions about human existence on this planet...Satia's fearlessness in tackling big questions, even to the point of indicting the very discipline that has raised her to a position of not-inconsiderable eminence, suggests that she might well be the historian who could summon the courage to plunge into this chasm., Ambitious...persuade[s] us to see the fundamentally imperialist design behind the modern (particularly British) conception of the discipline of history., The first book-length study that explains exactly how historians helped make empire. In painstaking detail, [Satia] shows that History has blood on its hands., A magisterial account of the role of history in the making of the British Empire. At a moment of chronic hand-wringing over the decline of the historical profession and the crisis of the humanities, Time's Monster is an especially welcome addition for understanding how history can be used and misused., A book about history and empire. Not a straightforward history, but an account of how the discipline of history has itself enabled the process of colonization...A coruscating and important reworking of the relationship between history, historians, and empire.

Synopsis
British historians influenced the empire in critical ways. Time's Monster shows how the modern vision of history as a form of ethics empowered historians to shape policy, while history became a justification for domination. Later, alternative notions of history revised the discipline's ethics and effects, reminding us that ideas have consequences., A New Statesman Best Book of the Year "Powerful and radically important." --Robert Gildea, Times Literary Supplement "Bracingly describes the ways imperialist historiography has shaped visions of the future as much as the past." --Pankaj Mishra, New York Review of Books "An account of how the discipline of history has itself enabled the process of colonization...A coruscating and important reworking of the relationship between history, historians, and empire." --Kenan Malik, The Guardian For generations, the history of the British Empire was written by its victors, whose accounts of conquest guided the consolidation of imperial rule in India, the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean. British historians' narratives of the development of imperial governance licensed the brutal suppression of colonial rebellion. Their reimagining of empire during the two world wars compromised decolonization. In this brilliant work, Priya Satia shows how these historians not only interpreted the major political events of their time but also shaped the future that followed. From the imperial histories of John Stuart Mill and Winston Churchill to the works of anticolonial thinkers such as William Blake, Mahatma Gandhi, and E. P. Thompson, Satia captures two opposing approaches to the discipline of history and illuminates the ethical universe that came with them. Against the backdrop of enduring inequalities and a crisis in the humanities, hers is an urgent moral voice., For generations, the history of the British Empire was written by its victors, whose accounts of conquest guided the consolidation of imperial rule in India, the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean.
