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. < 606 $aCrime$zDeveloping countries 606 $aViolence$zDeveloping countries 606 $aDemocratization$zDeveloping countries 606 $aPostcolonialism 607 $aDeveloping countries$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCrime 615 0$aViolence 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 676 $a364.9712/4 701 $aComaroff$b Jean$0251727 701 $aComaroff$b John L.$f1945-$0251726 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454459803321 996 $aLaw and disorder in the postcolony$92125364 997 $aUNINA
