Summary: A brilliant ethnographic exposition on social control
Comment: Professor Laura Nader of U.C. Berkeley has penned an amazing work. At first glance Harmony Ideologyseems like a fairly mundane anthropological work on Zapotec Indians of Mexico and their law. The realityis quite different. Although slightly wordy, Nader's description of Zapotec dispute resolution is lively and usually interesting. She examines law cases in the spirit of Llewellyn and Hoebel's classic The Cheyenne Way, although Nader includes analyses cases that do not come to the authorities for resolution. This makes Nader's work both subtler and more accurate. Nader was the first legal anthropologist to emphasize with rigor that the users of systems of dispute resolution help shape and define it, and the study of legal systems must therefore emphasize disputes in all stages from formation to resolution (or nonresolution). In her analysis of the promotion of Christian harmony as a means of social control, Nader is nothing less than brilliant. She expertly uses through history and sociology to expose the motives and methods of Zapotec social control. And like any great work, Harmony Ideology uses facts from a narrow subject foreign to most readers' experience and applies them in such a way as to enlighten our own culture.
