Description
This special issue of Law and History Review welcomes a forum on transregional law that looks at the movements of law in the Indian Ocean in the era of the British Empire. The forum begins with an introductory essay by its organizers, 2012 Transregional Research Postdoctoral fellow Iza Hussin and Renisa Mawari, and concludes with an afterword by Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellowship Committee member Engseng Ho. In between are five essays (including an essay by 2013 Transregional Research Postdoctoral fellow Fahad Bishara) that examine law’s travels in various directions across colonial and imperial contexts, tracing law’s interactions with religion along the way.
