Recenzii
This ground-breaking and readable treatise belongs in every predominantly English law library in the world.
In this erudite and powerfully argued book, Ngaire Naffine adds to her already distinguished contributions to feminist legal scholarship with a trenchant critique of the persistent patriarchy of criminal law.
[A] hard-hitting, no-holds-barred critique of the pervasive maleness of criminal law, particularly, though far from exclusively, as it has operated, and continues to operate, in the sphere of sexual violence ... Naffine's book is a hugely significant achievement, likely to be devoured and debated, celebrated and critiqued, in equal measure. Most importantly, Criminal Law and the Man Problem issues a serious challenge, not just to criminal legal scholars but to legal scholars in general, to confront the continuing legacy of a deeply patriarchal past in the context of a discursive tradition in which history and authority have long been naturally aligned.
I found myself at times marvelling that, after decades of feminist work in this area, the point continues to need to be made that the criminal law and associated disciplines have a 'man problem'. However, on reflection, it seemed to me another plank in Naffine's argument that demonstrates both the deep-seated nature of law's masculine bias, and also the difficulty, as Naffine so eloquently argues, in making the 'men of law' recognise the problem. I can only hope that Naffine's challenge to the discipline is recognised and acted upon so that it can be an important step in confronting as well as analysing the 'man problem'.
This is an important book . that challenges many of the things that we take for granted about the criminal law.
A powerful and provocative addition to literatures of criminal legal history, gender and the law and critical approaches to criminal law. It can function as a valuable teaching tool.
