South Asia, the British Empire, and the Rise of Classical Legal Thought
Repossessing Property in South Asia
The introductory essay to this special double issue on “Repossessing Property in South Asia: Land, Rights and Law Across the Early Modern/Modern Divide” reviews existing historical scholarship on land control and proprietary right in the Indian subcontinent in order to contextualize the contribution made by the articles that follow. Dividing earlier writings—by historians and anthropologists since the 1950s—into three phases/thematics, the introd…
Property and Its Rule (in Late Indo-Islamicate and Early Colonial) South Asia
This article sets out a framework for understanding two key issues in the history of early modern and modern South Asia. First, it addresses the vexed question of the generalizability of the “Western” concept of property to Indo-Islamicate land systems. Rather than beginning from the idea of ‘Islamic property law/relations’ it proposes that we reconstruct concepts relating to the control of the earth’s material substrate in terms of four modes of…

While seemingly novel, the contemporary emphasis on the theory-practice divide is …
Khoo Boo Teik, Vedi Hadiz, and Yoshihiro Nakanishi,eds. Between Dissent and Power
The key intervention this timely volume makes is to question whether political agitation that speaks in the name of Islam is best understood in terms of the Islamic content its exponents profess.In this respect, the titular choice to describe the volume as being about "Islamic" politics is no coincidence.To the contrary, it splits the difference between assuming that no more than a politics of actors who happen to be "Muslim" merits attention and…
