Law as Process

With a new introduction by Martin Chanock

This is a study of the role of law in African society. It is a work in the ethnology of law. Its central theme is that the same social processes which prevent the total regulation of society are those that re-shape and transform the efforts to regulate.

Sally Falk Moore's study was originally published in 1978. New edition published in association with the International African Institute
