Summary
Making a decisive shift from the 'top down' approach, the chapters in this volume treat law as a process that entails constant exchange, conflict, and adjustment between the rulers and the governed. Contributors to the volume look at the ways in which colonized subjects shape the contours of legal spaces and demonstrate that the process of establishing a legal regime in colonial South Asia was marked by continuous negotiation and mutual exchange.--, Provided by publisher
