European Expansion and Law : The Encounter of European and Indigenous Law in 19Th- And 20Th-Century Africa and Asia, Hardcover by Mommsen, Wolfgang J.; De Moor, J. A. (EDT), ISBN 0854967621, ISBN-13 9780854967629, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The history of European expansion overseas also includes the history of the expansion of concepts and principles of European law into the non-European world. The values and ideas it expressed have, to this day, deeply influenced indigenous societies and governments. At the same time indigenous concepts of law were 'discovered' and codified by European scholars. The outcome of this was a complex and intense interaction between European and local concepts of law, which resulted in many dual legal systems in the African and Asian colonies and which is examined in this volume by prominent historians, lawyers and legal anthropologists.
