This book is about the entanglements between colonial law, space, and place in regions defined as frontiers in British India. This book shows that colonial law was central to the spatial transformation of the Himalayan borderland region into a frontier space. The frontier was not a geographical site at the periphery of colonial territory. The frontier was produced as a particular type of political-legal space and was integral to the imperial project. The book will follow law's movements--its ebb and flow-- into such spaces through practices of border making, jurisdiction, and colonial knowledge.
