Description
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.
Reviews'a fascinating study of legal hierarchies in Britain and India.' Victorian Studies 'will be of interest to students of colonial criminology and scholars more broadly interested in nineteenth-century colonialism.' Itinerario
