Review of African Political Economy - Vol. 21 No. 59 Mythology of Modern Law (Fitzpatrick)

Abstract of Review

Title:	The Mythology of Modern Law by Peter Fitzpatrick
Reviewer:	Sammy Adelman
Location:	Vol.21 No.59 (January 1994), pp137-139

It might appear strange to review a book which asserts that the universalist claims of modern law are no more than a contemporary myth in a journal devoted to Africa political economy. Peter Fitzpatrick's The Mythology of Modern Law is, however, of great relevance to our understanding of the history of colonialism and imperialism and the role that the law has played in the subjugation of the African continent.
