Devilization

a pun on Civilization and represents its antithesis. The word is a native African product, first seeing the light in "The Lagos Weekly Record", invented to describe the veneer of civilization imposed on natives of Africa at the White's point of contact with them. This Lagos publicist John Payne Jackson (1848-1915) finds that"after a century of trial it is fitting that the native should call a halt, and in his own interest take stock of the result of this foreign system imposed on him".
