      abstract = {This book is a survey of how law, language and translation  overlap with concepts, crimes and conflicts. It is a  transdisciplinary survey exploring the dynamics of  colonialism and the globalization of crime. Concepts and  conflicts are used here to mean ℓ́ℓconflicting  interpretationsℓ́ℓ engendering real conflicts.  Beginning with theoretical issues and hermeneutics in  chapter 2, the study moves on to definitions and  applications in chapter 3, introducing cattle stealing as a  comparative theme and global case study in chapter 4.  Cattle stealing is also known in English as  ℓ́ℓrustling, duffing, raiding, stock theft, lifting  and predatorial larceny.ℓ́ℓ Crime and punishment are  differently perceived depending on cultures and legal  systems: ℓ́ℓCaptain Starlightℓ́ℓ was a legendary  ℓ́ℓdufferℓ́ℓ; in India ℓ́ℓliftingℓ́ℓ a  sacred cow is a sacrilegious act. Following the  globalization of crime, chapter 5 deals with human rights,  ethnic cleansing and genocide. International treaties in  translation set the scene for two world wars. Introducing  ℓ́ℓunequal treatiesℓ́ℓ (e.g. Hong Kong), chapter  6 highlights disasters caused by treaties in translation.  Cases feature American Indians (the ℓ́ℓtrail of broken  treatiesℓ́ℓ), Maoris (Treaty of Waitangi) and East  Africa (Treaty of Wuchale).},
