On the Rule of Law:
History, Politics, Theory
2005
“The Rule of Law” is the most important political ideal in the
world today. Yet, there is a great deal of confusion over what it
means, what its elements are and how to establish it. This book,
written for theorists as well as students, explores the origins of
the rule of law ideal and its contemporary theoretical and
practical implications.
“Terrific. Brian Tamanaha has written
a book that should educate not only every student and layperson who
reads it, but also scholars who wrongly think there is nothing new
to say about ‘the rule of law.’ Rarely has such a short book
accomplished so much.” —Sanford Levinson, University of Texas
Law Schoo. |

Wounded Hearts:
Masculinity, Law, and Literature in American Culture
2008
The literary study of emotion is part of an important revisionary
movement among scholars eager to case emotional politics for the
21st-century. Looking beyond the traditional categories of
sentiment, sensibility and sympathy Jennifer Travis suggests a new
approach to reading emotionalism among men. She argues that the
vocabulary of injury, with its evaluation of victimhood and its
assessments of harm, has deeply influenced the cultural history of
emotions. |
