An introduction to the anthropology of law that explores the
connections between law, politics, and technology From legal
responsibility for genocide to rectifying past injuries to
indigenous people, the anthropology of law addresses some of the
crucial ethical issues of our day. Over the past twenty-five years,
anthropologists have studied how new forms of law have reshaped
important questions of citizenship, biotechnology, and rights
movements, among many others. Meanwhile, the rise of international
law and transitional justice has posed new ethical and intellectual
challenges to anthropologists. Anthropology and Law provides a
comprehensive overview of the anthropology of law in the post-Cold
War era. Mark Goodale introduces the central problems of the field
and builds on the legacy of its intellectual history, while a
foreword by Sally Engle Merry highlights the challenges of using
the law to seek justice on an international scale. The book's
chapters cover a range of intersecting areas including language and
law, history, regulation, indigenous rights, and gender. For a
complete understanding of the consequential ways in which
anthropologists have studied, interacted with, and critiqued, the
ways and means of law, Anthropology and Law is required reading.
