Abstract

In this article I develop a model explaining how certain practices and processes that operate in and around lower courts are shaped by and support class and gender inequities in the wider society. Analyzing an Antiguan case for child support, I show that everyday activities in the courts reproduce rather than eliminate hegemony, and that they have complex and contradictory consequences for litigants. I distinguish 12 "rites of domination" to explain why reform of prevailing structures of domination is so difficult. [Caribbean, structures of domination and resistance, legal processes, class, gender].
