The book “Histoires Contemporaines du Droit” (“Contemporary Histories of Law”) outlines a wide and up-to-date range of methodological possibilities for making legal history of the 19th and 20th centuries. The authors propose a critical overview of the discipline, encouraging historians to view legal actors, norms, and activities through the prism of controversy, interdisciplinarity, and global legal history.
