"A bold rejoinder to the growing body of scholarship that advocates the globalization of law, this important book champions social diversity as a fundamental aspect of what constitutes law... The book announces the arrival of a new thinker with an original perspective on comparative law and on the theory of legal systems generally." - Nicholas Kasirer, James McGill Professor of Law and Director, Centre of Private and Comparative Law, McGill University "The book makes a significant contribution to two scholarly fields - comparative law and legal anthropology - that are rarely brought together with this degree of sophistication. This is really a terrific piece of scholarship, beautifully written, and on a subject of great importance. I think Susan Drummond will receive wide recognition as a leading voice in an emerging field of study." - David M. Engel, Distinguished Service Professor, Faculty of Law, SUNY Buffalo"
