“It is a comprehensible and engaging book, whose chapters are formulated chronologically, which is plausible as the author aims to take the reader through a transitional and developmental period. … Feingold’s methodology and sources enable a thorough inquiry into the multifaceted colonial encounter in the courts of law and of the subsequent disentanglement which aimed to refashion African juridical structures in a way which did not mirror that of the imperial state.” (Winner Ijeoma, Rechtsgeschichte – Legal History Rg, Issue 28, 2020)
