Reviews for Arguing with Tradition: The Language of Law in Hopi Tribal Court (Chicago Series in Law and Society)
"I could not be more enthusiastic about this book. Richland has provided one of the very few extended considerations of courtroom talk in a language other than English - to very good effect. He makes an argument that makes a real difference, and does so with insight, clarity, imagination, and rigor." - Donald Brenneis, University of California, Santa Cruz"
