History and Power in the Study of Law New Directions in Legal Anthropology

Building on previous work in legal anthropology, June Starr and Jane F. Collier ask, “Should social anthropologists continue to isolate the `legal` as a separate field of study?” To answer this question, they oppose critics of legal anthropology who deplore the branch of the dying branch and advocate a reintegration of legal anthropology into a renewed general anthropology. Chapters by anthropologists, sociologists, and law professors who use anthropological rather than legal methods offer original analyses of specific legal developments. Some contributions take an interpretive approach that emphasizes the right as a system of service; Others take a materialist approach, analyzing the economic and political forces that have historically shaped relations between social groups. Authors include Said Armir Arjomand, Anton Blok, Bernard Cohn, George Collier, Carol Greenhouse, Sally Falk Moore, Laura Nader, June Nash, Lawrence Rosen, June Starr and Joan Vincent.
