Abstract:The central theme that links the essays in this book on the ethnology of law is that the same social processes that prevent the total regulation of a society also reshape and transform efforts at partial regulation. The study of reglementation is therefore the study of the way partial orders and partial controls operate in social contexts. The essays illustrate this theme in a variety of settings, amongst others Lango society in Uganda and among the Chagga of Tanzania.
