The scandal of this collection lies not just in its equating law and resistance but also in its consequent revision of those critical, realist, social, and even positivist theories that would constitute law in its dependence on sovereign or society, on some surpassing power, or on the state of the judge''s digestion. There is as well a further provocation offered by the collection in that the most marginalized of resistances through law are found to be the most destabilizing of standard paradigms of legal authority. Instances of such seeming marginality explored here include the resistances of colonized and indigenous peoples and resistance pursued through international law. What this ''marginal'' focus also reveals is the constituent connection between modernism, imperialism and that legalism produced by the ready reduction of law in terms of sovereign, society and such. In all, the collection makes a radical contribution to social, political and postcolonial theories of law.

Industry Reviews

''...an important and fascinating essay collection.' Journal of Postcolonial Writing '..breathtakingly rich in varying content, yet steadfast in its unifying focus...Fitzpatrick has again come to the fore with an array of ground-breaking questions and analyses in contemporary legal theory.' Journal of South African Law '..when the essays are chronologically ordered, as they are here, the product is greater than the sumof its parts. Indeed Law as Resistance is remarkable...' Access to Justice '...a cogent compilation of cutting edge work in critical legal theory today.' Journal of Law, Culture and the Humanities
