Book Synopsis Law in Radically Different Cultures by : John H. Barton
Book excerpt: The purpose of the text is to teach about law by focusing on contemporary legal systems within the framework of each culture. The text emphasizes the legal process in each of the four traditions by concentrating on the specific problems of inheritance, as an example of the definition of and response to crime; contracts as an example of economic decision making; and population planning as an example of personal rights and the allocation of power between judicial, bureaucratic, and religious institutions. For use in undergraduate anthropology courses as well as in advanced anthropology or comparative law courses.
