Anthropology of Law in Muslim Sudan analyses the hybridity of law systems and the plurality of legal practices in rural and urban contexts of contemporary Sudan, shedding light on the complex relation between Islam and society. It is the outcome of the international research program ANDROMAQUE ( Anthropologie du Droit dans les Mondes Musulmans Africains et Asiatiques ), funded by the French ANR ( Agence National de la Recherche ) between 2011 and 2014. Crossing two disciplinary perspectives, anthropology and law, the present volume contains original fieldwork data on contemporary urban and rural Sudan. Focusing on two major domains, land property and courts, several case studies demonstrate the relevance of an approach based on “legal practices” to underline, first, the plurality and hybridity of law systems and the relative role of the Islamic reference in Sudanese society, and, secondly, the reshaping of legal behaviors and norms after the breaking point of South Sudan's independence in 2011. Contributors are: Zahir M. Abdal-Kareem; Azza A. Abdel Aziz; Musa A. Abdul-Jalil; Munzoul M.A. Assal; Mohamed A. Babiker; Yazid Ben Hounet; Barbara Casciarri; Baudoin Dupret; Philippe Gout; Enrico Ille.

Le Maroc est probablement l’un des pays d’Afrique du Nord et du Moyen Orient les plus étudiés par les sciences sociales et humaines. Motivée par la diversité objective du pays, cette faveur n’en demeure pas moins ambiguë, en ce qu’elle a contribué à consacrer l’antinomie tradition/modernité. À rebours de ce cliché, Le Maroc au présent expose plusieurs facettes des tensions qui traversent la société marocaine et montre qu’elles ne sont ni figées ni subies par les gens. En multipliant les approches en sciences humaines et sociales, cet ouvrage examine, notamment à partir d’observations de terrain, les transformations qui se sont produites ce dernier quart de siècle, à tous les niveaux. Pour donner à connaître, du plus près possible, le Maroc d’aujourd’hui, l’ouvrage propose une variété de regards croisés, souvent personnalisés, sur les processus sociaux, dans leurs expressions les plus variées. En cela, Le Maroc au présent se veut beaucoup plus un ouvrage d’exploration qu’un simple livre de synthèse. De par la pluralité disciplinaire des contributeurs et la diversité des terrains explorés, il est un état de la recherche sur le Maroc contemporain, fait à partir du Maroc.
