The authors' intention in writing the papers included in this volume is stated to be the exploration of property phenomena; furthermore, the intension to offer an ethnographic description of the practices linked to them. Obviously trying to balance between the impact of culture and the legal environment within which the legal praxis is applied, this is a research about the legal practices in an overwhelmingly Muslim environment - not the depiction of an 'Islamic' culture observed through the prism of law. This is what makes this study anthropological, as far as I am concerned. Valuable tool for students of law and (of course) anthropologists. - Stavros Nikolaidis, in: Journal of Oriental and African Studies 28 (2019) Cet ouvrage, de forme tres soignee, extremement riche et varie dans ses ethnographies de pratiques saisies sur le vif et tres homogene dans ses approches, constitue non seulement un apport marquant a l'anthropologie juridique du Soudan (pays passionnant, ne serait-ce qu'au vu des evenements recents), mais encore un modele de collaboration entre anthropologues et juristes. - Francois Ireton, CNRS, Paris, in: Cahiers d'etudes africaines 240 (2020)
