Legal Pluralism in Conflict offers a new theoretical perspective
for conceptualising and analysing the relationship between ethnic
minority laws and the official legal order. Examining the limits of
liberal legal thought in light of a contemporary plurality of
ethnic identifications and religious beliefs, Prakash Shah takes up
the case for a 'legal pluralism' that views ethnic minority laws in
interaction with the official British legal order. This form of
legal pluralism is not, however, without conflict. This book
pursues a series of case studies that critically consider why and
how state laws marginalise ethnic minority legal orders. Legal
Pluralism in Conflict contains discussions of the recognition of
polygamous marriages, homicide, the expertise provided in
immigration cases and the legal discourse of nationality. It is in
this engagement with some of the most challenging issues posed by
the diverse character of modern society that its author sets out an
alternative course for ethnic minority legal studies. Legal
Pluralism in Conflict will be invaluable to students and
researchers concerned with law's relationship to and treatment of
ethnic and religious diversity, as well as to those with wider
interests in the limits and possibilities of political pluralism.
