In this introduction to Marxism and the law, Hugh Collins presents
a unified and coherent view of Marxism, which he uses to examine
the specific characteristics of legal institutions, rules, and
ideals. He pays particular attention to the place of ideology in
law, the distinction between base and superstructure, and the
destiny of law in a Communist society. His principal theme is the
Marxist critique of the ideal of the Rule of Law. He argues that
the main purpose of a Marxist theory of law is to expose the belief
in the Rule of Law as being a subtle and pervasive ideology which
serves to obscure the structures of class domination within the
State. The author frequently subjects the Marxist approach to
criticism and he shows that many of the Marxist claims about law
are unproven or misconceived. The book is written in
straightforward non-technical language which requires no knowledge
of either Marxism or law. This book is intended for students and
academics interested in Law, Legal Theory and Political Theory.
