"Just Between the Law and Us: Persons and Property is an edited collection of readings in private law theory, focusing in particular on the social and philosophical context of private law rules. It is intended to introduce readers to the nature of the public/private divide, individualism and legal personhood. The book opens with a set of readings on the nature of classification in private law, continues with exploration of some fundamental assumptions at work in private law, and concludes with materials related especially to property law. For purposes of illustration, it includes extensive readings on the place of women, children and aboriginal peoples in private law theory."--pub. desc.
