Description

This Routledge-Cavendish scholarly work examines how Western legal systems and discourse functioned as instruments of colonial control over individual subjects. The book uncovers the organizing principles through which law colonized people as legal subjects, revealing the often-overlooked complicity of occidental legal frameworks in imperial expansion. Rather than merely documenting law's role in colonial projects, this volume investigates the deeper mechanisms by which legal discourse sought to domesticate and refine modern Western subjects through the sanctioning of pleasure and the establishment of socially acceptable outlets for private enjoyment. By tracing how legally permitted forms of pleasure instilled self-control within individuals, the work offers critical insight into the relationship between law, desire, and subjectivity in postcolonial contexts. Essential reading for scholars of international law, legal history, and postcolonial studies.
