Editorial Reviews
Review
Martin Krygier, Gordon Samuels Professor of Law and Social Theory, University of New South Wales
"Beautifully illustrates how law served political ends over 114 years of Sudanese history … a personal and a professional journey [and] an outstanding contribution to a global literature."
Rachel E. Stern, Law and Politics Book Review
"A remarkable piece of socio-legal scholarship [made] into an incredibly readable story."
Law and Society Association award citation
"Challenges our assumptions about the notion that law promotes democracy and human rights … [an] insightful study."
American Political Science Association award citation
"Insightful, sober, and forward-looking analysis of the practice of human rights in the harsh realities of violent conflict and moral ambivalence."
Abdullahi An-Na'im, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Law, Emory University
"A rich interdisciplinary analysis grounded in extensive fieldwork … a compelling story."
Rachel Ellett, Law and Social Inquiry
"An important and original contribution … groundbreaking … overdue and much needed."
Lutz Oette, Journal of African Law
"Law's Fragile State invites us to interrogate exactly what we mean by the rule of law and what we expect it to accomplish."
Sally Engle Merry, Law and Social Inquiry
"Ambitious, passionate, and eminently readable - Law's Fragile State challenges the presumption that law is all but absent in war-torn contexts like that of Sudan … [it] pushes the boundaries of law and society scholarship on several fronts at once."
Tamir Moustafa, author of The Struggle for Constitutional Power: Law, Politics, and Economic Development in Egypt
"Well-researched … well-written [and] thought-provoking … Highly recommended."
