Called \u003ci\u003eperitajes antropol gicos culturales\u003c\/i\u003e, this testimony can come in the form of written affidavits and\/or oral testimony. These experts build bridges of intercultural dialogue, which overcome language and cultural barriers that have historically limited equal access to justice for indigenous and ethnic people all over the word. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCulture as Judicial Evidence in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e summarizes the current state of this work in six countries: Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay, and lays out the challenges and dilemmas involved in the creation and use of cultural expert testimony. Organized into three sections, the book advances a framework for the use of cultural evidence, and presents readers with nine case studies based on trials in six individual countries. These countries have implemented legal reform, constitutional amendments and the adoption of international legislation to create the legal frameworks that enable this new form of legal evidence to be admissible in Latin American courts. The contributing authors are cultural anthropologists with vast experience researching the impact of cultural expert witness testimony. A forward-looking final section examines the dilemmas and challenges of this work that remain to be solved. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leila Rodriguez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947602632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947602632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Cincinnati Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.98w x 1.18d","brand":"Leila Rodriguez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075184095487,"sku":"9781947602632","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8494029-34f3-4fd8-8f9a-dd1d45140639.jpg?v=1685458089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/culture-as-judicial-evidence-leila-rodriguez-9781947602632","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
