Chanock's definitive perspective on the development of the South African legal system in the early twentieth century examines all areas of the law: criminal law and criminology; the Roman-Dutch law; the State's African law; Land, Labour and 'Rule of Law' questions. His revisionist analysis illustrates the processes of legal colonization. |
