=520  ##$$a Treating law as an essential cultural component in a nation-building project, this book offers a socio-histor- ical analysis of a community-based system of justice under colonial rule. It traces the attempts of Jewish jurist-nationalists to establish a non-religious system of Hebrew courts in British-ruled Palestine. This book analyzes the secular, national and anti-colonial ideology of the Hebrew Law of Peace and shows that Jewish reli- gious groups, secular lawyers and leading Zionist insti- tutions undermined the Hebrew Law project. The book develops the concept of 'dual colonialism' to analyze the complex relations between Jewish settlers and British colonizers, and explores the reluctance of leading Zionists to allow a process of nation-building from below that would have allowed communities, rather than organized quasi-state institutions, to define the trajectory of Jewish nationalism.
