It heralds important new debates in legal anthropology and the anthropology of human rights.\"—Rachel Sieder, Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social (CIESAS), Mexico\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eA Sense of Justice\u003c\/i\u003e responds to the unique challenges of understanding justice as plural, decentered, and often in tension with formalized state-centered systems of law in Latin America. By privileging the everyday uses and consequences of justice in action and closely examining actors' own experiences of injustice and search for remedy, this superb book goes beyond its focus on Latin America, setting a wider agenda for an anthropology of justice.\"—Ronald Niezen, McGill University\u003cbr\u003e\"From rural and urban experiences in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia, \u003ci\u003eA Sense of Justice\u003c\/i\u003e explores the discursive uses and everyday practices of justice by courts, police, indigenous peoples, citizens, and victims.
