their anthropological knowledge and ready themselves to face the
challenges posed by the multicultural transformation of their
societies.’Giacinto Bisogni, Judge, Italian Court of
Cassation`Ruggiu belongs to the school that believes that once one
has identified a complex problem our task is to seek solutions. The
school I belong to identifies a complex problem and then shows how
much more complex it is. I teach Law & Culture and am aware of the
complexity. The book was enriching in making me realize how much
even more complex it is. No small feat'. ̶ `10 Good Reads’, J. H.
