Mapping Marriage Law in Spanish Gitano Communities (Law and Society)

"Comparative law and legal anthropology have traditionally restricted themselves to their own fields of inquiry. Mapping Marriage Law in Spanish Gitano Communities turns this tendency on its head and investigates what happens when the voices of each discipline are invited to speak to each other. Susan Drummond forges this hybrid form of work through small- and large-scale studies of Gitano marriage law as it developed in a Western European state, in a modern urban centre, and in particular communities and families."--Résumé de l'éditeur "Comparative law and legal anthropology have traditionally restricted themselves to their own fields of inquiry.
