Ethnography and Law, Hardback Book

Ethnography and Law Hardback

Edited by Eve Darian-Smith

Part of the The International Library of Essays in Law and Society series

Hardback

Description

Ethnographies of law are historically associated with anthropology and the study of far-away places and people.

In contrast, this volume underscores the importance of ethnographic research in analyzing law in all societies, particularly complex developed nations.

By exploring recent ethnographic research by socio-legal scholars across a range of disciplines, the volume highlights how an ethnographic approach helps in appreciating the realities of legal pluralism, the subtle contradictions in any legal system and how legal meaning is constantly reproduced on the ground through the cultural frames and practices of peoples' everyday lives.
