Policing in Colonial Empires: Cases, Connections, Boundaries (ca. 1850–1970), 1st Edition

Colonial security strategies and the postcolonial vestiges they left both in the global South and in former metropoles have recently attracted renewed academic attention. Policing in Colonial Empires is a collection of essays reflecting current, ongoing research and exploring the multifaceted dynamics of policing in colonial societies over the past two centuries. Spanning several continents and colonial contexts (some of them liminal or little-explored), the book examines the limits and legitimacies of the functioning of colonial policing. Addressing issues such as collaboration, coercion, violence, race, and intelligence, the collected works ask what exactly was colonial about colonial policing. Together, the contributors point out the complex nature of colonial law and order maintenance, and provide insights on histories that might reflect the legacies of its many variants.Policing in Colonial Empires: Cases, Connections, Boundaries (ca. 1850–1970) 1st Edition is written by Blanchard, Emmanuel / Bloembergen, Marieke / Lauro, Amandine and published by P.I.E Peter Lang S.A., Editions Scientifiques Internationales .
