'This is an excellent edited collection of papers that moves forward a number of longstanding debates within legal pluralism as today's scholars and practitioners increasingly focus on its practical implications for legal reform. Although the contributions are written as stand-alone chapters, the richness of the debate that runs through all the papers means that the reader will benefit much from reading the book from cover to cover.'
