'This set of highly instructive and insightful case studies of transnational personal, social, religious and economic relations in Northern Europe is at the cutting edge of sociolegal analysis of the ambiguous outcomes of gender, class and status in this age of accelerated mobility of people, technologies and normative systems.' Abdullahi A. An-Na'im, Emory University Law School, USA 'This is an original critical accounting of legal pluralism as nationalist discourse, read in light of new transnational realities across Northern Europe. The regional focus thickens the analysis - in the process unsettling conceptual boundaries, remixing institutions and intimate lives, and deepening the implications for contemporary studies of law and society.' Carol J. Greenhouse, Princeton University, USA
