Zemiology Beyond the Critique of Capitalism

Zemiology Beyond the Critique of Capitalism: Harm, Colonialism and Decolonisation promotes the transformation of zemiology by calling on scholars to address how colonialism and its aftermath are central to understanding and explaining social harm.

The volume also discusses ways in which colonial logics are produced and reproduced in the twenty-first century. Using varied methodological approaches such as ethnography, content analysis, archival data analysis, and theoretical interventions, this volume explores epistemological and material issues, such as how Indigenous communities understand harm, as well as which specific state actions are underpinned by colonial rationales and motivations from different perspectives.

Zemiology Beyond the Critique of Capitalism will be useful to scholars and students of zemiology, critical criminology, and associated social sciences.
