About This Item
Chicago / London: University of Chicago, 1981. Book. Very Good+. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). First Edition, First Printing.. First Edition, first printing, SIGNED by author John L. Comaroff (association copy), in clean original dust jacket. Clean toast brown cloth boards with dark gray lettering on spine. No fading, bumping or wear. Binding is tight and square, hinges are sound. Pages and edges are clean and bright with clean blank endpapers. Inscribed and signed on title page: "Terry and June (sp?), Many thanks for EVERYTHING. Affectionately, John 7.xxiii.81." Introduction and one chapter (The Sociocultural Order) has many marginal notes and underlining (mostly in pencil). 293 pages with index. Clean dust jacket is unchipped, a couple of very short closed edge tears; enclosed in new archival quality removable mylar cover. This study, one of the very few co-authored by an anthropologist and a lawyer, challenges many of the orthodoxies of legal anthropology. In so doing, it argues that dispute processes, and the broader social processes of which they are a part, are given form and meaning by a dialectical relationship between the sociocultural order and individual experience..
