Description

Penal Power and Colonial Rule offers a groundbreaking analysis of how penal systems developed differently outside metropolitan centres, particularly in colonial contexts. This Routledge volume fundamentally challenges Foucault's influential thesis on disciplinary power, arguing that the application of penal mechanisms in colonial territories-especially India-requires a radical rethinking of how sovereign, disciplinary, and governmental power operated. The book proposes that colonial penal power functioned as a central element of colonial rule, distinct from metropolitan frameworks. By reexamining the relationship between criminological knowledge and punishment systems across colonial spaces, this work provides legal scholars, historians, and criminologists with essential insights into how power relationships were constructed and maintained through penal institutions beyond Europe.

Key Features

Penal Power and Colonial Rule challenges classical Foucauldian interpretations of discipline and punishment in non-metropolitan contexts.

The book examines colonial penal systems in India, providing detailed analysis of how punishment operated as a tool of colonial governance.

Routledge's scholarly treatment integrates criminological theory with historical evidence to rebalance understanding of sovereign and governmental power.

This work is essential reading for law students, historians of colonialism, and those studying the history of criminology and penology.

The book proposes that colonial penal mechanisms functioned differently than metropolitan systems, requiring theoretical revision of existing frameworks.
