The book is the product of a decade of sustained research, efforts to observe, documents and evaluate the role and meaning of liberal principles in different instances of social and political life in contemporary Bolivia. The result is an extensive and t|9780804759823|, "Mark Goodale's work is a provocative ethnography of law and liberalism in contemporary Bolivia. The author presents a robust analysis of law as a culmination of intersecting discourses and practices about individual rights. Goodale's ethnography contributes to legal anthropology by moving such conversations of 'legality' beyond the formal spaces of governance and into the often private and intimate places of everyday life."-Nicole Fabricant, Estudios Interdisciplinarios de America Latina y el Caribe, "Mark Goodale's work is a provocative ethnography of law and liberalism in contemporary Bolivia.

The result is an extensive and thought-provoking ethnographic study of law and liberalism in this (still) understudies country . . . The book is a welcomed addition that will be especially useful for graduate education and research across several subfields"--Raul Sanchez The Law and Politics Book Review, "The tone of the book is engaging and the issues raised are important and far reaching. Scholars and students familiar with the region or with the various bodies of literature he grapples with will appreciate many points of the discussion."-Andrew Orta, The Americas, "This book is an important read for scholars who are attempting to unpack the discrepancy between the utopian goals and often horrific effects of liberalism. . . [T]his is a thought-provoking analysis of the paradoxes of liberalism from an anthropologist who has spent more than a decade of research in Bolivia. . . [A]n important contribution to critical legal studies."--Miriam Shakow, American Ethnologist, " Dilemmas of Modernity is a cunning ethnography of patterns of law, intention and meaning in Bolivia. Yet it is more besides: the book is a reflection on and demonstration of anthropology's relevance not just to the study of law but to the formation of what Goodale calls "theory pursued by the social." Goodale's interlocutors seek conceptual grounding for their forays into liberalism, rights discourse, and justice, bringing their identities and experiences to bear yet also engaging in their own acts of social theorizing, making an explicitly self-reflective "modernity" along the way. Richly evoking the worlds of Bolivians' making—perhaps not as they would have chosen, yet in a sense still self-imposed—Goodale presents a fascinating study that is likely to reorient Andeanist scholarship as well as enhance the conversation in the anthropologies of law and modernity, and sociolegal studies on human rights, liberalism's vernacularization, and the paradoxes of the law's universalist claims in a world of wrenching particularities."—Bill Maurer, University of California, Irvine, "This book is an important read for scholars who are attempting to unpack the discrepancy between the utopian goals and often horrific effects of liberalism. . .
