'Legal pluralism' is the term used to describe the existence of more than one legal system in the same geographical location. As a study, it concerns the tensions that arise in the operation of these systems alongside each other. It is an analytical tool used by academics to conduct a comparative study of empires. This book seeks to illuminate how people in colonized countries negotiated 'native' and 'introduced' laws. It is a book that will appeal to legal academics and historians.
