What turned a natural disaster into a human disaster was the determination of senior British officials to use relief policy as an instrument of nation-building in their oldest and most recalcitrant colony.

Her approach contains a strong psychoanalytical component, with a focus on mentalities and emotions. Much like Stuart Clark in Thinking with Demons (1999), Roper aims to render comprehensible to modern readers a mindset in which magic and witchcraft were an essential part of the overall conception of the universe.
