Legal Pluralism in Central Asia reports on historical,
anthropological and legal research which examines customary legal
practices in Kyrgyzstan and relates them to wider societal
developments in Central Asia and further afield. Using the term
legal pluralism, the book demonstrates that there is a spectrum of
approaches, available avenues, forms of local law and indigenous
popular justice in Kyrgyzstan's predominantly rural communities,
which can be labelled living law. Based on her extensive original
research, Mahabat Sadyrbek shows how contemporary peoples
systematically address challenging problems, such as disputes,
violence, accidents, crime and other difficulties, and thereby seek
justice, redress, punishment, compensation, readjustment of
relations or closure. She demonstrates that local law, expressed
through ritually structured communicative exchange, through dictums
and proverbs with binding characters and different legal practices
or processes undertaken in specific ways, deem the solutions
appropriate and acceptable. The reader is thereby enabled to see
the law in people's deepest assumptions and beliefs, in codes of
shame and honour, in local mores and ethics as well as in religious
terms. In this way, the book reveals the dynamic, changing and
living character of law in a specific context and in a region
hitherto insufficiently researched within legal anthropology.
