By looking at a variety of British narratives about India, from the later eighteenth century to the end of the 1860s, it shows how the discourse of crime was a major tool employed by the British to understand, imagine, and rule the vast country." "To see how this strategy contributed to both British understanding of the colonized 'others' and a particular image of 'self', we must study the formation of this discourse not only in the colonial context but within Britain itself. Nineteenth-century British society placed a huge emphasis on issues of crime, punishment, order, and policing. These issues became fundamental to British claims to being a civilized nation; naturally, they became an important part of British colonial/imperial strategy. But since at home these issues were sites of contest and not consent - of debate and opposition rather than unquestioned hegemonic power - they were inherently risky tools to use in building an ideology of empire."--BOOK JACKET. | |
