Review Quotes:
"Barzilai makes a major contribution to thinking about state-society relations, pointing researchers to the plurality of communities harboring different sorts of legal identities, consciousness, and practices. The mix of state domination through centralized law and the legal cultures of particular communities provides a window into the construction of modern-day society and politics. Necessary reading for those working on comparative politics, law and society, and Israel studies."
--Joel Migdal, University of Washington
