In Law and Disorder in the Postcolony, Jean and John Comaroff and a group of respected theorists show that the question is misplaced: that the predicament of postcolonies arises from their place in a world order dominated by new modes of governance, new sorts of empires, new species of wealth-an order that criminalizes poverty and race, entraps the "south" in relations of corruption, and displaces politics into the realms of the market, criminal economies, and the courts. <CrimeDeveloping countriesViolenceDeveloping countriesDemocratizationDeveloping countriesPostcolonialismDeveloping countriesSocial conditionsElectronic books.CrimeViolenceDemocratizationPostcolonialism.364.9712/4Comaroff Jean251727Comaroff John L.1945-251726MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454459803321Law and disorder in the postcolony2125364UNINA
