{"product_id":"manual-of-nuer-law-hardback","title":"Manual of Nuer Law - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1954 this book was originally designed for administrators but has become a key title for anthropologists. It includes a summary account of the history and social organisation of the Nuer and provides a descriptive analysis of their customary practices concerning homicide, blood-feuds, marriage and divorce and the settlement of disputes by arbitration and the award of compensation. It shows how in the first half of the twentieth century, as a result of administrative action and in particular the establishment of 'Chiefs' Courts' a system of law developed, which although based on customary procedures, introduced many concepts which were quite unknown to the Nuer in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575278854382,"sku":"9781138584693","price":163.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138584693.jpg?v=1720947729","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/manual-of-nuer-law-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
