Donovan's introduction is a book worth reading....His book succeeds in its function as a textbook....This book makes a well-written introduction to an important field of anthropology. * Anthropos *
In a field where there are many good and some great monographs, critical overviews are few and far between, and James M. Donovan's comprehensive treatment of legal anthropology comes as a breath of fresh air. Legal Anthropology guides newcomers to the rich literature of law and anthropology, and provides more mature scholars with perspectives to debate. -- Mack O'Barr, professor of cultural anthropology at Duke University and author of Just Words, Second Edition: Law, Language, and Power
