With the exhaustion of postcolonial studies, and following the
historical turn in studies of European imperialism, the time is
ripe for a more sharply historical consideration of the role of
European legal thought in processes of colonial governance. Rather
than recycling general theories of the ideological role of law in
European colonization, the contributions to this volume focus on
the historical interaction between law and politics in British
colonial contexts in order to clarify how European legal doctrines
and institutions were actually transmitted, negotiated and modified
in the concrete circumstances of frontier polities.
A collection that focuses on the role of European law in colonial
contexts and engages with recent treatments of this theme in known
works written largely from within the framework of postcolonial
studies, which implicitly discuss colonial deployments of European
law and politics via the concept of ideology.
