      abstract = {"This volume offers a new theoretical approach to the  analysis of the law/revenge binary, and attempts to  dismantle the common idea of revenge as lacking any legal,  moral or rational dimension. In contrast, the book puts  forward a model of a complex system of justice which it  terms 'vindicatory' therein vendetta constitutes an  authorized action, the core of which does not (just) lie in  vengeance but also in settlement procedures for peace or  'composition.' The first part of the book ("Vindicatory  Justice: Conceptual Analyses and Forerunners") seeks to  identify the nature of vindicatory justice and to shed  light on the structure of so-called vindicatory systems. In  turn, the second part ("Mapping Vindicatory Justice")  illustrates, using examples gathered from a range of  sociolegal contexts, the dynamic relationship between  composition and authorized revenge in vindicatory systems.  Taken as a whole, the volume shows that applying a longue  durée historical perspective to the study of revenge  systems allows us to clearly recognize composition and  authorized revenge as features of the same legal system,  even though one of them may seem predominant (or more  eye-catching) than the other in certain cultural settings"},
