Recenzii
It is unusual to examine different national forms of colonialism alongside one another and comparatively within the same region at the same time. This book does so with great success, showing how magistrates, colonists, missionaries, indentured workers and Pacific Islanders negotiated and conflicted over forms of law and justice. Both the limits and the power of colonial law enforcement are revealed, along with its racialized and gendered nature.
This finely-drawn, illuminating study of law-making in the colonial Pacific uncovers how complex cultures of gender, race and colonial violence came together inside and beyond the colonial courtroom, revealing the coercive yet fractured nature of colonial governance and, within it, the strategic responses of colonized subjects.
Kate Stevens' excellent study, combining analyses of systems of formal justice and 'rough justice' with discussions of the lived experiences of the colonised and colonising, provides an original and very perceptive contribution to the history of the South Pacific and to our understanding of crime and punishment in colonial situations.
