This groundbreaking book contributes to, and refocuses, public
debates about the incorporation of plural approaches into the
English legal system. The book specifically advances the recent,
largely theoretical, discussions of Sharia legal practice by
examining a secular method of dispute resolution as practised by
the Kurdish Peace Committee in London. Following migration to the
West, many Kurds still adhere to traditional values and norms.
Building on these, they have adapted their customary legal
practices to create unofficial legal courts and other forms of
legal hybridisation. These practical solutions to the challenges of
a pluralistic life are seen by Kurdish communities in the UK as
applicable not only to British and transnational daily life, but
also as a training ground for institutions in a possible future
Kurdish state. The study provides a substantive evidence base using
extensive ethnographic data about the workings of the Kurdish Peace
Committee, examining detailed case studies in the context of the
customs and practices of the Kurdish community. Based on an
ethnographic and interdisciplinary approach, this book will be of
interest to policy makers, socio-legal professionals, students and
scholars of legal anthropology, ethnic minority law,
transnationalism, diaspora, Kurdish, Turkish and Middle Eastern
studies.
