Fikentscher Wolfgang. Law and Anthropology: Outlines, Issues and Suggestions

Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 2009. — 510 p.This book represents a new approach: It discusses the relationship between law and anthropology by focusing on recent developments and ongoing debates. Inevitably, this approach falls short of covering all aspects pertaining to the social science of legal anthropology. Therefore, the text indicates where the student of legal anthropology may find more information on what is traditionally considered the substance of both law and anthropology. Of special interest here are normative issues of cultural anthropology, especially when they border on law, politics, religion and economics.
