Document Summary
Classic pluralism: has to do wit the classic colonial situation in which norms exist on a place. New pluralism: it says that pluralism exist everywhere, and sees it in formal law. Nonstate legal order: law or something else. You cnat have a lease without legal paperwork. The common law has a bunch of rules and a lot of them show the legitimacy of law. How things are written down affects how we understand the world: historians believed that the way that something was written it is how we were conditioned to think about it. Strategies for reading document: you have to read with a purpose with an understanding what the text is able to do and that comes with the idea that a text has a function. This technique is not what historians do but it is something that everyone should do as a way to interpret documents. Devaluing the oral traditions like aboriginal story telling.
