Postcolonialism and the Law provides a long overdue delineation of
the field of enquiry that engages with the legal programmes,
structures, and procedures which have sustained Euro-North American
supremacy on the international political stage for the past fifty
years or so. Focusing on the relationship between law and the
racial and colonial mechanisms of subjugation at work in the global
present, the contributions assembled in this new four-volume
collection from Routledge's Critical Concepts in Law series attend
to juridical apparatuses as they operate in concert with economic
and ethical frameworks, procedures, and architectures. Instead of
approaching law as a self-sufficient instrument of power, the
gathered major works expose the complex deployment and operation of
legal instruments and how they-along with economic mechanisms and
ethical programmes-participate in the constitution of the political
space shared by both former colonial powers and colonies. With a
full index, together with a comprehensive introduction, newly
written by the editors, which places the collected material in its
historical and intellectual context, Postcolonialism and the Law is
an essential work of reference. The collection will be particularly
useful as a database allowing scattered and often fugitive material
to be easily located. It will also be welcomed as a crucial tool
permitting rapid access to less familiar-and sometimes
overlooked-texts. For postcolonial theorists and lawyers, as well
as those working in cognate disciplines, such as Critical Legal
Studies, Ethics, Cultural Studies, Race and Ethnicity Studies, and
Human Rights, it is certain to be valued as a vital one-stop
research and pedagogic resource.
