Book Synopsis
This is a study of the legal system of the Zapotec village of Talea. It examines the suggestion that compromise and harmony are strategies used by colonized groups and colonizers to protect themselves from encroaching powerholders or organized subordinates.

Trade Review
"Nader's scholarly volume, though detailed, is very readable. Not only is this book a major contribution to the anthropology of law by one of its leading proponents but also one that should be considered by scholars interested in other aspects of cultural changes and development."—Anthropos
