Emergency, Exception, and the Colonial Rule of Law
Giorgio Agamben's now axiomatic formulation of the 'state of exception' is problematic when we consider the colonial world. As scholars have pointed out, Agamben's framework is inherently Eurocentric and fails to consider how racial difference rendered colonial rule an inherently authoritarian and anti-democratic enterprise from the outset. The blurring of executive, legislative, and judicial powers that Agamben identifies with the state of excep…
Michael Lobban. Imperial Incarceration
Michael Lobban’s Imperial Incarceration: Detention without Trial in the Making of British Colonial Africa provides a rich and methodical examination of how the detention without trial of defiant or rebellious African leaders became a key mechanism for British imperial expansion and control throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Lobban’s analysis begins by sketching out a central paradox: How could a nation that professed its com…
The Ajnala Massacre of 1857 and the Politics of Colonial Violence and Commemoration in Contemporary India
In February 2014, an amateur archaeological team unearthed thousands of bones and other remains from an old well in the town of Ajnala, located in the Indian state of Punjab. These remains are believed to belong to 282 Indian sepoys who were summarily executed en masse on 1 August 1857 under the orders of Deputy Commissioner Frederic Cooper, during the height of the Indian Uprising of 1857. The discovery of the bodies has not only reignited fierc…
The Indian ‘Alsatia’
By the eve of the First World War, the world’s two most powerful imperial powers, Britain and France, had begun to work together in order to defeat the growing menace posed by transnational anti-colonial networks operating within Europe. When it came to the front lines of the anti-colonial struggle, however, Franco-British collaborative policing efforts continued to be plagued by persistent rivalries and contestations between these erstwhile enem…
Coercion and Conciliation at the Edge of Empire
Since 2001, the geo-strategic priorities of the ‘War on Terror’ have prompted renewed attention to the historically significant region of Waziristan. Ironically, given the apparent failure of British attempts to pacify the region in the century after 1849, Waziristan’s colonial history has been picked over by policy-makers, commentators, and scholars for lessons which might be applied to current projects of state-building and counter-insurgency. …
Licence to Kill
In 1867, the Government of India passed one of the most brutal-minded and draconian laws ever created in colonial India. Known as the 'Murderous Outrages Act', this law gave colonial officials along the North-West Frontier wide powers to transgress India's legal codes in order to summarily execute and dispose of individuals identified as 'fanatics'. Arguments for the creation and preservation of this law invariably centred around claims about the…
Fanaticism' and the Politics of Resistance along the North-West Frontier of British India
During the past decade, discussions of religious extremism and 'fanatical' violence have come to dominate both public and academic discourse. Yet, rarely do these debates engage with the historical and discursive origins of the term 'fanatic.' As a result, many of these discussions tend to reproduce uncritically the same Orientalist tropes and stereotypes that have historically shaped the way 'fanaticism' and 'fanatical' violence have been framed…
