Studies in African Native Law

"This is a book to stir, bother, instruct, and somewhat dismay a lawyer. The book opens up all of jurisprudence and, as is observable, much of emotion. It is a clean job, done by a man who wants clarity in the law, who has a conscience even in advocacy, and who has the kind of essential insight into problems which fertilizes. Here is a book for lawyers, for sociologists and for ethnologists. For lawyers especially, here are familiar problems curiously illuminated in an unfamiliar setting. They wake you up to what the law is about." ~Karl N. Llewellyn

"A fine contribution not only to legal scholarship but to the intelligent development of race relations." ~Edmund N. Cahn
