She argues that narrative, textual, and rhetorical practices shaped not only police and legal activity of the period, but also public conceptions of police power. Her extensive research delves into law and literature on both sides of the Atlantic, tracking the centrality of vagrancy in establishing police power as a form of sovereignty crucial to settler colonialism, slavery, and racial capitalism. The first book in several generations to address policing and vagrancy in the eighteenth century, and the first in the field to center race and empire in its account of literary vagrancy,"-- $c Book jacket. 650 0 $a Police $x History. 650 0 $a Vagrancy $x History. 650 0 $a Vagrancy in literature. 650 0 $a Police in literature. 650 0 $a Police power. 650 7 $a Police. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068398 650 7 $a Police in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068606 650 7 $a Police power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068645 650 7 $a Vagrancy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01163674 650 7 $a Vagrancy in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01163677 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Lewis Walpole series in eighteenth-century culture and history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021024934.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EA8285B69F4211EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
