Revival: Knowing Rights (2001) - State Actors'' Stories of Power, Identity and Morality

Zusatztext 'The major strengths of the study can be found in Oberweis and Musheno's careful and convincing methodological approach and in their persuasive argument about the complexities of identity...scholars who use qualitative research methods to understand culture! identity! and law in practice will find this study illuminating. The sections on methodology and the conceptualization of identity are detailed and insightful and offer convincing critiques of mainstream scholarship.'
