- Double-weighted statement
- We propose double-weighting for this monograph, because of the complexity and multi-layered nature of the argument it presents; and because it examines data that was gathered over a 10 year period. Detailed research across multiple jurisdictions examined how sovereign violence was mediated by legal institutions and enabled by law. This monograph explores the nature of legal fictions, the regulation of bodies, the production of facts, and the condition of belonging to community. Each chapter makes a major intervention to the literature on sovereignty, postcolonial legal theory, law and literature, and transitional justice.
