Reviews

'Through rich ethnographic studies, this groundbreaking volume considers new ways to think and theorise about corruption , the law and (im)morality. It will redefine and productively reshape what we think we know about corruption in our world today.' Todd Sanders, University of Toronto, Canada 'This volume represents a theoretically sophisticated and ethnographically well-grounded exploration of the vernacular meanings of practices that may be termed corrupt . The book shows that corruption is the obscene underside of the law, and that the moral outrage which corruption generates reflect a desire for the law to be more real and firm.' Thomas Blom Hansen, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
