Opis

Everyday Justice destabilizes any essentializing construal of the idea of justice by opening up new approaches to the concept of justice. This timely volume provides rich ethnographic material and locates the question of justice within the texture of specific and particular everyday social relations, places, and times.

Recenzje

'In this important volume, Sandra Brunnegger and her colleagues challenge scholars from across the disciplines to rethink how we approach justice. They offer an accessible but sophisticated exemplar of how anthropology can shine a light on the 'muddle' in which writings on justice too often land, caught between the abstractions of theorists and the immediacy of justice practices in everyday life. Especially recommended for legal and political theorists who are interested in expanding their reach, and for sociolegal scholars concerned with integrating the study of justice into empirical research.' Elizabeth Mertz, John and Rylla Bosshard Professor of Law, University of Wisconsin, Madison Law School
