- The 110,000-word research monograph is the product of 15 years’ work, a large part of which was funded by the Australian Research Council. Archival data upon which the monograph rests were collected in three states of India, in Pakistan and in the United Kingdom. The book is the first and only comprehensive study and genealogy of the so-called criminal tribes of colonial era India, covering a 150-year period from the late 1770s to early 1920s. It is the first book-length study of colonial governmentality which it approaches through a lens of colonial law, justice and liberal rule.
