Description

Imperial Gallows explores the role of the death penalty as a tool of power within British colonial networks in Africa from 1915 to 1960. Published by Bloomsbury, this academic study analyzes capital trials across Kenya, Nyasaland, and the Gold Coast to reveal how legal cultures and political authority influenced sentencing. The book examines the social tensions that led to murder among colonized populations and how colonial courts functioned. It provides a detailed look at how concepts of race, ethnicity, gender, and civilization dictated whether Africans were spared or condemned. This work offers a deep look into the landscapes of political authority and the legal structures used to maintain control in Africa's colonial territories.
