About the Book
"The Uses of Justice in Global Perspective, 1600–1900" offers a fresh perspective on how justice was employed between 1600 and 1900, challenging the Eurocentric narratives that dominate traditional historiography. The book delves into the multiplicity of legal systems that existed during this period across Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Americas, examining how different states, institutions, and communities interacted and negotiated the law.
Rather than focusing solely on top-down state-imposed legal systems, Vermeesch shifts attention to the lived experiences of ordinary people, highlighting the role of legal pluralism in everyday life. The book features numerous case studies that offer rich historical context, contributing to ongoing debates in socio-legal history, state formation, and access to justice. It explores the interaction between formal legal institutions and the bottom-up legal systems crafted by people, examining how these systems facilitated transactions and social cohesion.
This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in early modern justice, crime, legal history, and the development of legal systems from a global perspective.
