About the book

How does law transform family, sexuality and community in the fractured social world characteristic of the colonizing process? Sally Engle Merry reveals how, in Hawaii, indigenous Hawaiian law was displaced by a transplanted Anglo-American law, bringing novel systems of court, prisons, and consentimos of discipline and dramatic changes in the marriage patterns, work lives, and sexual conduct.
