Sommario/riassunto

This volume brings together some of the leading thinkers about the connections between community, home and identity. Several chapters



address how the law and lawyers contribute (or detract) from the creation and maintenance of community and, in some cases, the conscious destruction of communities. Others examine the protection of individual and group identities through rules related to property title and use of such things as Home and 'identity property'.
