Greenwood Publishing Group : American Cultural Pluralism and Law

Description

This new and updated edition of Norgren and Nanda's classic text brings their examination of American cultural pluralism and the law up to date through the Clinton administration. While maintaining their emphasis on the concept of cultural diversity as it relates to the law in the United States, new and updated chapters reflect recent relevant court cases bearing on culture, race, gender, and class, with particular attention paid to local and state court opinions. Drawing on court materials, statutes and codes, and legal ethnographies, the text analyzes the ongoing negotiations and accommodations via the mechanism of law between culturally different groups and the larger society. An important text for courses in American government, society and the law, cultural studies, and civil rights.

Reviews:

-Norgren and Nanda provide a clear, well organized collection of cases that deal with many aspects of cultural pluralism throughout American history...It is a valuable contribution to the literature on law and society in America. —Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review (on the previous edition)

-The materials selected to demonstrate the legalistic response to challenges of cultural diversity in the United States are uniformly excellent....The strength of the book lies in the depth and intelligence of its range of coverage. —The American Anthropologist (on the previous edition)

-Norgren and Nanda have written a compelling book that traces the paradoxical history of both the law's protection of, and yet tragic betrayal of, minority rights...Their account poses important questions on pluralism and law. —American Political Science Review (on the previous edition)
