Now in its second edition, this important book offers one of the first systematic exploration of the entire field of law and anthropology. The book combines more practical, applied approaches to the study of law and anthropology with more cultural and theoretical ones. Drawing on historical and literary sources of cultural anthropology, it focuses primarily on questions of the law, but also explores economic, political and religious issues.
