{"product_id":"law-and-the-stranger-austin-sarat-9780804771542","title":"Law and the Stranger","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaw calls communities into being and constitutes the \"we\" it governs. This act of defining produces an outside as well as an inside, a border whose crossing is guarded, maintaining the identity, coherence, and integrity of the space and people within. Those wishing to enter must negotiate a complex terrain of defensive mechanisms, expectations, assumptions, and legal proscriptions. Essentially, law enforces the boundary between inside and outside in both physical and epistemological ways. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLaw and the Stranger\u003c\/i\u003e explores the ways law identifies and responds to strangers within and across borders. It analyzes the ambiguous place strangers occupy in communities not their own and reflects on how dealing with strangers challenges the laws and communities that invite or parry them. As the book reveals, strangers are made through law, rather than born through accidents of geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Sarat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804771545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804771542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford Law Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 175","brand":"Austin Sarat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202172371199,"sku":"9780804771542","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63200a55-461b-4965-9179-021d815485d2.jpg?v=1756819838","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/law-and-the-stranger-austin-sarat-9780804771542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
