520    "This is a pioneering, multi-empire account of the 
       relationship between the politics of imperial repression 
       and the economic structures of European colonies between 
       the two World Wars. Ranging across colonial Africa, 
       Southeast Asia and the Caribbean, Martin Thomas explores 
       the structure of local police forces, their involvement in
       colonial labour control and the containment of uprisings 
       and dissent. His work sheds new light on broader trends in
       the direction and intent of colonial state repression. It 
       shows that the management of colonial economies, 
       particularly in crisis conditions, took precedence over 
       individual imperial powers' particular methods of rule in 
       determining the forms and functions of colonial police 
       actions. The politics of colonial labour thus became 
       central to police work, with the depression years marking 
       a watershed not only in local economic conditions but also
       in the breakdown of the European colonial order more 
       generally" -- provided by publisher.
