Everyday Harm
Lazarus-Black (criminal justice and anthropology, U. of Illinois-Chicago) investigates the August 1991 passage and implementation of domestic violence law in Trinidad and Tobago, and asks what law can and cannot accomplish. In particular, she looks at why and when lawmakers write such legislation; who so little results from it,; what can it mean for women's empowerment, gender equality, and protection; and how cultural norms and practices intercept the law.
