Double-weighted statement
This 110,000-word book is based on comparative research in UK and international libraries and archives, supported by the British Academy and the Faculty of Humanities. Extensive and varied primary sources were consulted in specialist collections, evidenced in the bibliography of approximately 60 primary sources and 250 secondary sources. The book analyses a wide variety of historical and legal documents, and literary texts, some of considerable length, over a period of 100 years, and in diverse colonial and postcolonial spaces. It also critically engages with a range of political thinkers and legal theorists, as well as debates in postcolonial studies.
