| Publisher Description: A Jurisprudence of Power reconstructs the martial law suppression of the Jamaica uprising of 1865, and the subsequent debate and litigation these events spawned in England. The book addresses questions of legality, and the integrity of political ideals arising from the most important conflict over martial law and the rule of law in the history of England in the nineteenth century. |
