Everyday Justice : Law, Ethnography, Injustice Hardback

Edited by Sandra (University of Cambridge) Brunnegger

Part of the Cambridge Studies in Law and Society series

Hardback

Description

Everyday Justice clearly demonstrates the value of revitalizing the category of justice in ethnographic work by revealing how both justice and injustice are woven into everyday life in manifold and widely differing ways.

The contributors account for this complexity across multiple particular social relations, places, and times, such that concepts and experiences of justice are made analytically visible without essentializing the construal of justice both as an idea and in practice.

In the best scholarly tradition, Everyday Justice provides theoretical readings of justice and injustice, justice and law, and relational justice, each designed to cut through the specificity of myriad social, political, and legal conjunctures in a clarifying way.

One outcome is to suggest future research possibilities to readers by highlighting theoretically distinctive yet ethnographically specific questions about justice.

Everyday Justice will be essential reading for anyone interested in justice in theory and practice.
