Rezensionen

`The Mythology of Modern Law represents a substantial advance in the project of critical jurisprudence' - Law & Social Inquiry

`This is a rich and thoughtful book.' - Times Higher Education Supplement

As ever, Fitzpatrick's work reveals great erudition. . . . The Mythology of Modern Law is an imaginative and important work . . . the book is a significant contribution to our understanding of both law and colonialism, and should be required reading for anyone concerned with the protection of rights and the establishment of democracy in the developing world - Sammy Adelman, Review of African Political Economy
