There are now more than 1100 village courts all over PNG, hearing thousands of cases each week. This anthropological study is grounded in ethnographic research on three different village courts and the communities they serve. It also explores the colonial historical background to the establishment of the village court system, and the local and global processes influencing the efforts of village courts to deal with everyday disputes among grassroots Melanesians.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 581gAuthor: Michael GoddardGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
