Customary law and so called ‘traditional authorities’ continue to play vital roles in many African societies today. This book tackles the problem of how the state deals with the paradox of having to integrate customary law and traditional authorities that are based on their own logics of ‘law’, ‘legal process’ and ‘authority’.
