Rezensionen

"There is no need to be a legal historian to sign up to a subversive legal history approach. This book is for the curious, the bored, those seeking a thought-provoking springboard for learning and teaching conversations in law schools. ...Subversive Legal History is the first in a series of volumes under the umbrella of "Transforming Legal Histories". If this is an indication of what is in the pipeline, then readers are in for a treat. It is refreshing to have something that doesn't tread a well-worn pedagogical path. ...As an excellent addition to the book, Sandberg is conducting one-to-one discussions with legal historians as part of a series on YouTube: "Subversive Symposium". These conversations extend the premise of the book, offer an accessible way for staff and students to learn more, and offer a catalyst for alternative futures to excite and enthuse the next generation of law students. Even if you are not a legal historian, in fact especially if you are not, there is much to recommend this book as a provocation for change."

"The ground-breaking nature of Subversive Legal History: A Manifesto for the Future of Legal Education, is epitomised by it being shortlisted for this year's Socio-Legal Studies Association (SLSA) socio-legal theory and history book prize. The author of the book, Russell Sandberg, is a prolific legal scholar. He is a leading figure-head in the establishment of law and religion as a topic of study in legal education, who has become prominent in the field of legal history... .Sandberg's book potentially marks the end of legal history in law schools, as we know it."

"The book Subversive Legal History: A Manifesto for the Future of Legal Education by Professor Russell Sandberg has gained an impressive reputation in a short period of time, including being shortlisted for the Socio-Legal Scholars Association Theory and History prize (2022). In terms of writing style, I was entertained throughout by Sandberg's effortless wit."
