The Routledge Handbook on Africana Criminologies plugs a gaping
hole in criminological literature, which remains dominated by work
on Europe and settler-colonial locations at the expense of
neocolonial locations and at a huge cost to the discipline that
remains relatively underdeveloped. It is well known that
criminology is thriving in Europe and settler-colonial locations
while people of African descent remain marginalized in the
discipline. This handbook therefore defines and explores this field
within criminology, moving away from the colonialist approach of
offering administrative criminology about policing, courts, and
prisons and making a case for decolonizing the wider discipline.
Arranged in five parts, it outlines Africana criminologies, maps
its emergence, and addresses key themes such as slavery,
colonialism, and apartheid as crimes against humanity; critiques of
imperialist reason; Africana cultural criminology; and theories of
law enforcement and Africana people. Coalescing a diverse range of
voices from Africa and the diaspora, the handbook explores outside
Eurocentric canons in order to learn from the experiences,
struggles, and contributions of people of African descent. Offering
innovative ways of theorizing and explaining the criminological
crises that face Africa and the entire world with the view of
contributing to a more humane world, this groundbreaking handbook
is essential reading for criminologists and sociologists worldwide,
as well as scholars of Africana studies and African studies.
