Why read it?

A wonderful introduction to, or return visit with, a strikingly interesting and groundbreaking legal anthropologist. Moore's writing is clear and confident, and her thinking fascinating.

She models so well the curiosity, care, and rethinking that are the essence of being a student.
From Dean's list on offering ideas to explore.
