Penal Power and Colonial Rule

Focusing on the interplay of power in colonial contexts, this work challenges and revises Foucault's theories by examining how sovereign, disciplinary, and governmental power manifest in colonial rule. It critiques the traditional view that criminological knowledge solely supports disciplinary power, suggesting a more complex relationship that has been overlooked in existing research. This exploration aims to illuminate the dynamics of penal power within colonial frameworks, offering new insights into the historical and theoretical implications of governance and control.
