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.
