Description

Product Description Everyday Justice clearly demonstrates the value of revitalizing the category of justice in ethnographic work by revealing how both justice and injustice are woven into everyday life in manifold and widely differing ways. The contributors account for this complexity across multiple particular social relations, places, and times, such that concepts and experiences of justice are made analytically visible without essentializing the construal of justice both as an idea and in practice. In the best scholarly tradition, Everyday Justice provides theoretical readings of justice and injustice, justice and law, and relational justice, each designed to cut through the specificity of myriad social, political, and legal conjunctures in a clarifying way. One outcome is to suggest future research possibilities to readers by highlighting theoretically distinctive yet ethnographically specific questions about justice. Everyday Justice will be essential reading for anyone interested in justice in theory and practice. Review 'Justice is more often felt than grasped intellectually, its everyday contexts accounting for its special bite. In this superb collection of essays the authors demonstrate how those contexts give meaning to local justice and how a sophisticated sense of its presence or absence depends on its socio-cultural surround. These timely studies complement and extend philosophical discussions of justice by showing its centrality to our different ways of experiencing the quotidian world as orderly and fair.' Lawrence Rosen, Princeton University, New Jersey'In this important volume, Sandra Brunnegger and her colleagues challenge scholars from across the disciplines to rethink how we approach justice. They offer an accessible but sophisticated exemplar of how anthropology can shine a light on the 'muddle' in which writings on justice too often land, caught between the abstractions of theorists and the immediacy of justice practices in everyday life. Especially recommended for legal and political theorists who are interested in expanding their reach, and for sociolegal scholars concerned with integrating the study of justice into empirical research.' Elizabeth Mertz, John and Rylla Bosshard Professor of Law, University of Wisconsin, Madison Law School Book Description Provides rich ethnographic analysis and offers a critical ethnographic approach to justice. About the Author Sandra Brunnegger is Official Fellow and College Lecturer at St Edmund's College, University of Cambridge.
