Review Quotes:
"Into this muddled field comes Annelise Riles edited volume, Rethinking the Masters of Comparative Law, which continues her highly original work in breaking open the stultified paradigms of comparative law. In short, Riles and her collaborators have put together an interesting intellectual history in a post-modern mode" --The Law and Politics Book Review
"...ce petit volume presente une vue originale de l'evolution de la science comparative." --Revue Internationale de droit Compare "...the book offers a fresh and sophisticated picture of the discipline and its future." --Tilburg Foreign Law Review "...consisting of excellent essays on various key figures, it represents an excellent study on the historiography of comparative law as an academic discipline The book will thus serve as prime reading for anyone who wants to understand comparative law as a discipline. All studies in the book are of truly superior quality, and reading them together gives a good picture of events in the history of comparative law, and of its present." --German Law Journal
