505 0  Introduction: Gender, justice, and the problem of culture 
       -- Creating "law" : colonial rule, native courts, and the 
       codification of customary law -- Debating marriage : 
       national law and the culture of postcolonial rule -- 
       Criminalizing culture : human rights, NGOs, and the 
       politics of anti-FGM campaigns -- Demanding justice : 
       collective action, moral authority, and female forms of 
       power -- Conclusion: gender justice, collective action, 
       and the limits of legal interventions. 
520    "When, where, why, and by whom is law used to force 
       desired social change in the name of justice? Why has 
       culture come to be seen as inherently oppressive to women?
       In this finely crafted book, [the author] examines the 
       history of legal ideas and institutions in Tanzania - from
       customary law to human rights - as specific forms of 
       justice that often reflect elite ideas about gender, 
       culture, and social change. Drawing on evidence from 
       Maasai communities, she explores how the legacies of 
       colonial law-making continue to influence contemporary 
       efforts to create laws, codify marriage, criminalize FGM, 
       and contest land grabs by state officials. Despite the 
       easy dismissal by elites of the priorities and 
       perspectives of grassroots women, she shows how Maasai 
       women have always had powerful ways to confront and 
       challenge injustice, express their priorities, and reveal 
       the limits of rights-based legal ideals."--|cBack cover.
