{"product_id":"9781592139668","title":"Material Law: A Jurisprudence of What's Real","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaw is part of the process by which people construct their views of the world. In \u003ci\u003eMaterial Law,\u003c\/i\u003e distinguished scholar John Brigham focuses on the places where law and material life intersect, and how law creates and alters our social reality. Brigham looks at an eclectic group of bodies and things—from maps and territories and trends in courthouse architecture to a woman’s womb and a judge’s body—to make connections between the material and the legal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTheoretically sophisticated, and consistently fascinating, \u003ci\u003eMaterial Law\u003c\/i\u003e integrates law and society, political science, and popular culture in a truly interdisciplinary fashion. Brigham examines how the meaning of law is influenced by politics, reviewing, for example, whether the authority of global law supersedes that of national law in the context of Anglo-American cultural colonialism. What emerges is a well-reasoned look at how the authority of law constitutes what we see as real in our lives. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151213936880,"sku":"9781592139668","price":61.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781592139668_p0.jpg?v=1763808354","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781592139668","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
