Red Tartar, the thoroughbred’ chestnut Randy had raised himself, was the Courtney’s one consolation for the loss of the family…
fortune; but for the life of him Randy couldn’t see how he and the Colonel, his grandfather, could manage to keep him. Despite the sympathy and friendship of Sue Anne, the awkward girl whose father had bought the old Courtney home, Randy’s hopes of ever racing the big horse were dim until irrepressible Dave Black came to the farm as a paying guest for the summer. The three young people joined forces to launch Red Tartar’s career and, inspired by neighboring Monticello and a hoard of colonial costumes in the big house, they were soon deep in plans for a revival of a Revolutionary Hunt Meet in full regalia. With the enthusiastic support of the local hunt club the prospect of racing Red at least once on his home ground was encouraging. But Red was still cranky with other horses and with most people, and Sue Anne’s brother was determined to beat him by fair or foul means. Rich in the everyday details of caring for and working with horses, set in the heart of rural Virginia where the horse is still a way of life, this story will delight anyone who has had, or dreamed of, a horse of his own.

This book draws on concrete cases of collaboration between anthropologists and legal practitioners to critically assess the use of anthropological…
expertise in a variety of legal contexts from the point of view of the anthropologist as well as of the decision-maker or legal practitioner. The contributions, several of which are co-authored by anthropologist–legal practitioner tandems, deal with the roles of and relationships between anthropologists and legal professionals, which are often collaborative, interdisciplinary, and complementary. Such interactions go far beyond courts and litigation into areas of law that might be called ‘social justice activism’. They also entail close collaboration with the people –often subjects of violence and dispossession –with whom the anthropologists and legal practitioners are working. The aim of this collection is to draw on past experiences to come up with practical methodological suggestions for facilitating this interaction and collaboration and for enhancing the efficacy of the use of anthropological expertise in legal contexts. Explicitly designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice, and between scholarship and practical application, the book will appeal to scholars and researchers engaged in anthropology, legal anthropology, socio-legal studies, and asylum and migration law. It will also be of interest to legal practitioners and applied social scientists, who can glean valuable lessons regarding the challenges and rewards of genuine collaboration between legal practitioners and social scientists.: The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
