By investigating the harms routinely experienced by the victims and
survivors of domestic violence, both inside and outside of law,
Everyday Harm studies the limits of what domestic violence law
can--and cannot--accomplish. Combining detailed ethnographic
research and theoretical analysis, Mindie Lazarus-Black illustrates
the ways persistent cultural norms and ingrained bureaucratic
procedures work to unravel laws designed to protect the safety of
society's most vulnerable people. Lazarus-Black's fieldwork in
Trinidad traces a story with global implications about why and when
people gain the right to ask the court for protection from
violence, and what happens when they pursue those rights in court.
Why is it that, in spite of laws designed to empower subordinated
people, so little results from that legislation? What happens in
and around courts that makes it so difficult for people to obtain
their legally available rights and protections? In the case of
domestic violence law, what can such legislation mean for women's
empowerment, gender equity, and protection? How do cultural norms
and practices intercept the law?
