Product Description

"This book is a work of scholarship but also relevant to the advocacies of the time. It is worth the read from its first page to the last."
- Associate Justice Marvic M.V.F. Leonen
Supreme Court of the Philippines This collection of Articles illustrates how the law can be used to subjugate marginalized sectors in the Philippines. Laws create hierarchies based on, among other things, class, ethnicity, or gender. These pieces were written during the course of a legal practice working with rural poor communities. They challenge hierarchies created by law and supports community efforts to pressure policy makers to review the unwritten premises of the law.
