Die Bestrafung indigener Verbrechen und die koloniale öffentliche Ordnung

More about the book

The book explores the impact of colonization on the Ivory Coast, highlighting the destruction of indigenous legal and social systems. It critiques the imposition of an individualism-based framework by colonial powers, contrasting it with the community-oriented values of the colonized. In response to this cultural upheaval, the government urges colonial rulers to uphold their own values, prompting a deeper examination of the clash between imposed systems and traditional beliefs rooted in communalism and harmony with nature.
