Barnett advances the macrosociological thesis that, in nations that are structurally complex and democratically governed, concepts and doctrines of law on society-central social activities are fashioned by society-level conditions, not by particular (or even prominent) individuals. Because a substantial body of social science research has found that law in a modern nation does not have a large, permanent effect on the frequency of such activities, the book contends that the content of law on the activities is a product, not a determinant, of the society in which the law exists. Explaining Law bolsters this contention with several original studies, and illustrates types of quantitative evidence that can be used to build a macrosociological theory of law. 410 0$aInternational studies in sociology and social anthropology ;$vVolume 124. 606 $aLaw$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 606 $aMacrosociology 606 $aSocial change 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLaw$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 615 0$aMacrosociology. 615 0$aSocial change. 676 $a340.115 700 $aBarnett$b Larry D.$0849777 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493692303321 996 $aExplaining law$92446796 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03032nam 2200673 a 450 001 9910455122703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8214-4298-8 035 $a(CKB)1000000000793239 035 $a(EBL)1743696 035 $a(OCoLC)884016858 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000280239 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11210813 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000280239 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10290280 035 $a(PQKB)10914511 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1743696 035 $a(OCoLC)636888503 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse9463 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1743696 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10276633 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000793239 100 $a20080304d2008 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aHeterosexual Africa?$b[electronic resource] $ethe history of an idea from the age of exploration to the age of AIDS /$fMarc Epprecht 210 $aAthens $cOhio University Press ;$aScottsville, South Africa $cUniversity of KwaZulu-Natal Press$d2008 215 $a1 online resource (246 p.) 225 1 $aNew African histories series 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8214-1799-1 311 $a0-8214-1798-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 187-218) and index. 327 $aA puzzling blindspot, a troubling silence, a strange consensus: reflections on the heterosexual norm in "African AIDS" -- The ethnography of African straightness -- Ethnopsychiatry and the making of gay shaka -- Slim disease and the science of silence -- Alternatives and ambiguities : African voices in literature and film. 330 $a Heterosexual Africa? The History of an Idea from the Age of Exploration to the Age of AIDS builds from Marc Epprecht's previous book, Hungochani (which focuses explicitly on same-sex desire in southern Africa), to explore the historical processes by which a singular, heterosexual identity for Africa was constructed-by anthropologists, ethnopsychologists, colonial officials, African elites, and most recently, health care workers seeking to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
