This collection surveys the literature relevant to law and anthropology. It also brings together attempts by western scholars to understand non-western forms of jurisprudence in their own terms, and illustrates diverse non-western approaches to law.

"As an educator, I share the belief that all of the authors in this collection must also have held as truth: that children are indeed the future, and to bring about social change, one needs to begin by changing the hearts and minds of children...

And a lovely collection it is!... Mickenburg and Nel have done all of us --parents, activists, writers--a service by providing examples of what has been done. The task remains to carry this forward."-Science & Society, "While is clearly intended as a textbook for a college course on this subject, the variety within this anthology should suggest it is well worth extended investigation.
