This Reader offers a remarkable overview of the field of law and anthropology: its development, present, and potential future courses. It is edited by a preeminent anthropologist, lawyer, and pioneer in the study of law and anthropology. The book brings together classics of political thought and key contemporary work from social scientists and lawyers; and explores historical issues and more contemporary ones such as illegal migration, human rights, gender discrimination, political corruption, and reparations for injustices committed by previous regimes. |
