In the Shade of an African Baobab: Tom Bennett's Legacy is a
collection of essays published to honour and thank Tom Bennett for
his generous contribution to scholarly work over the years in the
field of legal pluralism and African jurisprudence, as well as for
his mentorship and friendship. The book brings together a
collection of work by esteemed scholars from multidisciplinary
fields, though the work is focused on aspects of law, culture and
religion. The common thread through all the contributions is Tom.
His scholarly influence, visible in each of the contributions, can
be compared to the mighty Baobab tree: a large iconic, culturally
important and majestic tree indigenous to Africa.
In considering diffusion from a global perspective, this book
provides timely new insights into its application in a variety of
fields and at many levels of both legal and non-legal orderings.
This collection contributes to the wider theoretical debate
concerning the movement of law and legal norms by engaging with
concrete examples of legal diffusion, in jurisdictions as diverse
as Albania, the Czech Republic, Poland and Kuwait. These examples,
taken together, provide a comprehensive illustration of the
theoretical debates concerning the diffusion of laws and norms in
terms of both process and form. This international,
multi-disciplinary and multi-methodological volume brings together
scholars from law and social science with experience in mixed and
hybrid jurisdictions, and advances the conversation about legal and
normative diffusion across the academy. It represents a robust
challenge to many preconceived ideas about legal movement and, as
such, will be of interest to academics and students working in the
fields of Law, Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, Legal
Education and comparative method.
