Examines the role of customary law and 'traditional' authority in
contemporary South Africa. There is a surprising resurgence of
traditional authority, custom and culture in post-apartheid South
Africa, as part of a conscious African renaissance. Yet customary
law studies highlight the artificial origins of these 'traditional'
institutions. This book poses three questions: what is the relation
between the changing legal and socio-political position of
traditional authority and customary law in the new South Africa?
Why are they changing in this way? and, what does this teach us
about the interrelation between laws, politics and culture in the
post-modern world? BARBARA OOMEN is Assistant Professor of Law
& Development in the University of Amsterdam North America:
Palgrave; South Africa: University of KwaZulu-Natal Press
