An important case study in the history of law under
colonialism, Colonial Law Making explores the
structural forces and contingent exchanges that shaped colonial law
in Cambodia, draws comparisons across the region and examines
Cambodia's post-independence colonial legacy. The court of King
Norodom and the temples of Angkor Wat became orientalist icons in
the French colonial imagination, perpetuating an image of the
Protectorate (1863-1953) as special and worthy of preservation.
This contributed to a certain exceptionalism in the way the Kingdom
was colonised, including through law. Drawing on previously
unexamined archival material, Sally Low presents a comparative case
study of French approaches to colonial law, jurisdiction and
protection. Although the voices of non-elite Cambodians are largely
absent from the archives, their influence on colonial law is
evident as they resisted efforts to regulate their lives and their
land. Low argues that the result was a set of state legal
institutions and an indigenous jurisdiction that blended Cambodian
and French notions of patronage and royal power as the source and
authority for law. This work is a case study of colonial law as an
instrument of control and administration in an indirectly ruled
colony. It adds depth to our understanding of the impact of
European colonial law and the significance of different forms of
colonial rule—direct, indirect and unofficial. It is easily
accessible for non-lawyers and is a must-read for those interested
in the recent past of Southeast Asia and the countries that were
previously colonised as French Indochina.
