Customary Law in the Modern World is the study of a coherent and
well-established legal system, which is now operating in the
context of a modern nation-state and therefore poised between
remaining relevant and the threat of marginalization. Focusing on
Sudan, the author places customary law in its historical and
cultural context, analyzing the fundamental and traditional values
that underlie customary law and the impact of the war between the
North and the South that lasted intermittently for half a century.
He deals with the substance of customary law, covering a wide
variety of areas: family law, property law, torts and criminal
liability. Drawing on interviews conducted with judges, legislators
and practicing lawyers on customary law and its future in the
modern context, the book challenges the development of customary
law to build on the positives of tradition and the reform of its
shortcomings, particularly in the areas of human rights, gender
equality and the protection of children. This book fills a gap in
the literature on customary law, and will be of great interest to
anyone interested in law, anthropology and politics.
