With the emergence of radical pluralism, law has become the site of extraordinary creativity and, on occasion, a source of rights for those historically excluded from its protection. \u003ci\u003eA Cultural History of Law in the Modern Age \u003c\/i\u003etells stories of human struggles in the face of state authority - including Aboriginal land claims, popular resistance to corporate power, and the inter-generational ramifications of genocidal state violence. The essays address how, and with what effects, different expressive modes (ceremonial dance, live street theater, the acoustics of radio, the affective range of film, to name a few) help to construct, memorialize, and disseminate political and legal meaning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing upon a wealth of visual, textual and sound sources, \u003ci\u003eA Cultural History of Law in the Modern Age \u003c\/i\u003epresents essays that examine key cultural case studies of the period on the themes of justice, constitution, codes, agreements, arguments, property and possession, wrongs, and the legal profession.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard K.
