"Narratives of truth in Islamic law/ edited by Baudouin Dupret , Barbara Drieskens and Annelies Moors" - London I B Tauris 2008 - 382p.
The truth, in legal terms, is the version of ""what happened"" which carries most authority. This original and thought-provoking book looks at how this narrative is constructed in Muslim societies, and which truths are privileged over others in constructing it. Looking at a range of contrasting case studies, from Sharia courts to inquiries into police abuse, this book explores how ordinary stories are transformed into authoritative truths.
