Title: Disputed Legacies
Description: Disputed Legacies focuses on Pakistan, examining law, pedagogy, medical practice and the situations that arise when 'secular' law comes into conflict with traditional practice and belief. The contributors to this volume trace the often-troubled interaction between the state and its women citizens and examine the structures and social systems that enable impunity for perpetrators of sexual violence to gain strength.
