The Seductions of Quantification: Measuring Human Rights, Gender Violence, and Sex Trafficking
ISBN: 9780226261140 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. We live in a world where seemingly everything can be measured. We rely on indicators to translate social phenomena into simple, quantified terms, which in turn can be used to guide individuals, organizations, and governments in establishing policy. Yet counting things requires finding a way to make them comparable. And in the process of translating the confusion of social life into neat categories, we inevitably strip it of context and meaning--and risk hiding or distorting as much as we reveal. With The Seductions of Quantification, leading legal anthropologist Sally Engle Merry...

Ordinary Americans often bring family and neighborhood problems to court, seeking justice or revenge.

Getting Justice and Getting Even concerns the legal consciousness of working class Americans and their experiences with court and mediation.

Law and Empire in the Pacific: Fiji and Hawai`i
ISBN: 9781930618251 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Hawai'i and Fiji share strikingly similar histories of colonialism and plantation sugar production but display different legacies of ethnic conflict today. Pacific Island chiefdoms colonized by the United States and England respectively, the islands' indigenous populations were forced to share resources with a small colonizing elite and growing numbers of workers imported from South Asia. Both societies had long traditions of chiefly power exercised through reciprocity and descent; both were integrated into the plantation complex in the nineteenth century. Colonial authorities, however,... Hawai'i and Fiji share strikingly similar histories of colonialism and plantation sugar production but display different legacies of ethnic conflic... |

ISBN: 9780691009322 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. How does law transform family, sexuality, and community in the fractured social world characteristic of the colonizing process? The law was a cornerstone of the so-called civilizing process of nineteenth-century colonialism. It was simultaneously a means of transformation and a marker of the seductive idea of civilization. Sally Engle Merry reveals how, in Hawai'i, indigenous Hawaiian law was displaced by a transplanted Anglo-American law as global movements of capitalism, Christianity, and imperialism swept across the islands. The new law brought novel systems of courts, prisons, and... How does law transform family, sexuality, and community in the fractured social world characteristic of the colonizing process?

The Social Organization of Law: Introductory Readings
ISBN: 9780195330342 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 596 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Austin Sarat's The Social Organization of Law: Introductory Readings begins with a simple premise--law seeks to work in the world, to order, change, and give meaning to society--and describes legal processes as socially organized. This book connects legal studies to the study of society in two different senses.
First, the readings highlight law's responsiveness to various dimensions of social stratification. They also draw attention to the questions of when, why, and how legal decisions and actions respond to the social characteristics (e.g. race, class, and gender) of those...
