In this novel and unorthodox historical analysis of modern comparative law, Daniel Bonilla Maldonado explores the connections between modern comparative law and the identity of the modern legal subject. Narratives created by modern comparative law shed light on the role played by law in the construction of modern individual and collective identities. This study first examines the relationship between identity, law, and narrative. Second, it explores the moments of emergence and transformation of this area of law: instrumental comparative studies, comparative legislative studies, and comparative law as an autonomous discipline. Finally, it analyzes the theoretical perspectives that question the narrative created by modern comparative law: Third World Approaches to International Law, postcolonial studies of law, and critical comparative law. For lawyers and legal scholars, this study brings a nuanced understanding of the connections between the theory of modern comparative law and contemporary practical legal and political issues.

'… Legal Barbarians is an important contribution to the discipline of comparative law … The book is also very well referenced, constituting an excellent bibliographic resource for the critical comparative jurist. Finally, it is also very pleasant to read. Concentrated in less than 200 pages - which is rare - it makes us think and travel thanks to its sometimes poetic analogies and images …' Eugénie Mérieau, Droit et Société (from French)
