Social & cultural anthropology; International human rights law; Civil procedure, litigation & dispute resolution

Cultural Expertise, Law, and Rights introduces readers to the theory and practice of cultural expertise in the resolution of conflicts and the claim of rights in diverse societies.

Combining theory and case-studies of the use of cultural expertise in real situations, and in a great variety of fields, this is the first book to offer a comprehensive examination of the field of cultural expertise: its intellectual orientations, practical applications and ethical implications. This book engages an extensive and interdisciplinary variety of topics – ranging from race, language, sexuality, Indigenous rights and women’s rights to immigration and asylum laws, international commercial arbitration and criminal law. It also offers a truly global perspective covering cultural expertise in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and North America. Finally, the book offers theoretical and practical guidance for the ethical use of cultural expert knowledge.

This is an essential volume for teachers and students in the social sciences – especially law, anthropology, and sociology – and members of the legal professions who engage in cross-cultural dispute resolution, asylum and migration, private international law and other fields of law in which cultural arguments play a role.

Reviews for Cultural Expertise, Law, and Rights: A Comprehensive Guide

"""In this unique and original volume the authors face realistically the roles that experts – particularly those in the ‘soft’ sciences – play in legal and administrative proceedings. With careful regard for issues of race, colonialism, and gender, the essays cover immigration, journalism, and indigenous rights at the highest professional level. It is a book for specialists and the concerned public alike"" Lawrence Rosen, Princeton University, USA ""Social scientists across a broad range of disciplines-- as well as lawyers, judges and paralegal professionals—but most importantly students and their teachers will find this volume of essays an excellent pedagogical resource for their work across a global array of international cultural and legal settings."" Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban, Rhode Island College, USA ""Livia Holden’s trailblazing work on cultural expertise demonstrates that socio-legal scholarship is now an integral part of the study of cultures. This groundbreaking and comprehensive volume shows how anthropologists deploy knowledge for the protection of basic human rights, thus playing a crucial role for diverse and inclusive societies."" Sandra Laugier, Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France ""With theoretical clarity, conceptual precision, and rigorous ethics, this book offers readers powerful methodological and case study examples of the ways that, as part of our service to the courts as cultural experts, we secure vital space in legal processes for a justice that is sensitive to diversity and inclusion as well as structural inequality and disadvantage."" Emma Varley, Brandon University, President of the Canadian Anthropology Society [CASCA]"
