This book explores the 'textbook narrative of origins' which has dominated most research on the history of human rights until recently through a collective experiment by historians, legal scholars, anthropologists and theologians. It outline the main contours of the narrative as well as investigates what kind of novel insights a fresh take informed by the recent ‘zeal’ around the topic offers on the narrative's main contours. Importantly, rather than entities with an absolute, predefined ‘essence’, this book conceptualizes human rights as open-ended and ambiguous entities – qualities responsible, furthermore for their global appeal - formed around an ideal of the universal human being as free and equal in particular. This book addresses the study of the dynamics, tensions and struggles accompanying the making of these claims.

Legal primitivism was a complex phenomenon that combined the study of early European legal traditions with studies on the legal customs of indigenous peoples. Lawyers and Savages: Ancient History and Legal Realism in the Making of Legal Anthropology explores the rise and fall of legal primitivism, and its connection to the colonial encounter. Through examples such as blood feuds, communalism, ritual formalism, and polygamy, this book traces the intellectual revolution of legal anthropology and demonstrates how this scholarship had a clear impact in legitimating the colonial experience.
Detailing how legal realism drew on anthropology in order to help counter the hypothetical constructs of legal formalism, it also shows how, despite their explicit rejection, the central themes of primitive law continue to influence current ideas – about indigenous legal systems, but also of the place and role of law in development.

From the jacket: The Oxford Handbook of Roman Law and Society surveys the landscape of contemporary research and charts principal directions of future inquiry. More than a history of doctrine or an account of jurisprudence, the Handbook brings to bear upon Roman legal study the full range of intellectual resources of contemporary legal history, from comparison to popular constitutionalism, and from international private law to law and society, thereby setting itself apart from other volumes as a unique contribution to scholarship on its subject.
The Handbook brings the study of Roman law into closer alignment and dialogue with historical, sociological, and anthropological research into law in other periods. It will therefore be of value not only to ancient historians and legal historians already focused on the ancient world, but to historians of all periods interested in law and its complex and multifaceted relationship to society.
In short: it's a great book, with a wonderful list of contributors, and you will want copies for home and office.
