Law, Power and Culture: Supporting Change From Within: Palgrave Socio-Legal Studies

Autor F. Knight
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 oct 2014
A fresh theory on how individuals respond to inequalities occurring within their own communities. This original and insightful study draws on empirical research on the Santal people of Asia, examining power relations within social fields, and the state, to reveal a typology of power practices, and applies these to forced marriage in the West.
