Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book examines the profound impact of colonialism on the development of crime and justice systems in both former colonies and colonial powers. Biko Agozino posits that Western criminology was shaped by colonial experiences, influencing its return to the mother countries. He critiques mainstream criminology and highlights the shortcomings of radical feminist and postmodernist perspectives in addressing colonial issues. By analyzing African and postcolonial literature, Agozino advocates for a 'committed objectivity' approach to better understand race-class-gender dynamics in criminology.
