Law and Imperialism

Criminality and Constitution in Colonial India and Victorian England

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Laws that were imposed by colonizers were as much an attempt to confirm their own identity as to control the more dangerous elements of a potentially unruly populace. This title uses material from both British Parliamentary Papers and colonial archive material to provide evidence of legal change and response.
