Four of the Chief Investigators from the Minutes of Evidence
project-which combines research, education, performance, and public
engagement to spark new ways of understanding structural
inequalities in settler societies like Australia-closely consider
the law's complex relation to the structural injustices of
colonialism. This interdisciplinary book brings together the
insights and approaches of history, criminology, socio-legal
studies, and law to present a range of case studies of the
encounter between law and colonialism. Through historical and
contemporary case studies, it emphasizes the nature of colonialism
as a structural injustice that becomes entrenched in the social,
political, legal, and discursive structures of societies and
continues to affect people's lives in the present. It charts the
role of law in both enabling and sustaining colonial injustice and
in recognizing and redressing it. Despite the enduring legacies and
harms of colonialism, Keeping Hold of Justice contends that
possibilities for structural justice can be found thorough
collaborative methodologies and practices that actively bring
together different disciplines, peoples, temporalities, laws, and
ways of knowing into dynamic relation. They reveal law not only as
a source of colonial harm but also as a potential means of keeping
hold of justice.
