‘Steven Boutcher, Corey Schdaimah and Michael Yarbrough's new title Research Handbook on Law, Movements and Social Change, goes beyond legal strategies and legal mobilization to expand our notions of when and how the law intersects with forms of democracy and authoritarianism, the constitution of law through practice, and the role of narrative in advancing/challenging forms of legal thinking. The book goes well outside the precincts of the global North to deal with law’s intersections with a variety of historical and social contexts.’
