Focusing on legal primitivism and its ties to colonialism, the book delves into concepts like blood feuds and polygamy to illustrate the evolution of legal anthropology. It presents an American perspective, highlighting how legal realism utilized anthropology to challenge legal formalism. Ultimately, it reveals the enduring impact of primitive law on contemporary views of indigenous legal systems and the role of law in development, despite its rejection by modern legal thought.
