This collection of rich, empirically grounded case studies
investigates the conditions and consequences of 'juridification' -
the use of law by ordinary individuals as a form of protest against
'the state'. Starting from the actual practices of claimants, these
case studies address the translation and interpretation of legal
norms into local concepts, actions and practices in a way that
highlights the social and cultural dynamism and multivocality of
communities in their interaction with the law and legal norms. The
contributors to this volume challenge the image of homogeneous and
primordially norm-bound cultures that has been (unintentionally)
perpetuated by some of the more prevalent treatments of law and
culture. This volume highlights the heterogeneous geography of law
and the ways boundaries between different legal bodies are
transcended in struggles for rights. Contributions include case
studies from South Africa, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Turkey, India,
Papua New Guinea, Suriname, the Marshall Islands and Russia.
