At its zenith in the early twentieth century the Brit-
ish Empire ruled nearly one-quarter of the world s
inhabitants. As they worked to exercise power in
diverse and distant cultures, British authorities re-
lied to a surprising degree on the science of mind.
Ruling Minds explores how psychology opened up
new possibilities for governing the empire. From
the mental testing of workers and soldiers to the
use of psychoanalysis in development plans and
counterinsurgency strategy psychology provided
tools for measuring and managing the minds of
imperial subjects. But it also led to unintended
consequences.
Following researchers, missionaries, and officials to
the far comers of the globe, Erik Linstrum exam-
ines how they used intelligence tests, laboratory
studies, and even dream analysis to chart abilities
and emotions- Psychology seemed to offer portable
and standardized forms of knowledge that could be
applied to people everywhere. Yet it also unsettled
basic assumptions of imperial rule. Some experi-
ments undercut the racial hierarchies that propped
up British dominance. Others failed to realize the
orderly transformation of colonized societies that
experts promised and officials hoped for. Challeng-
ing our assumptions about scientific knowledge
and empire, Linstrum shows that psychology did
more to expose the limits of imperial authority
than to strengthen it.
