Abstract

This article reviews a work entitled Customs and Justice in the Caucasus: the Georgian Highlanders, authored by the first-generation Georgian immigrant, Alexander Grigolia. In 1939, the work was submitted as a dissertation to the University of Pennsylvania, while in 1997 it was published as a book. The work covers all aspects of the vernacular lifestyle and social thought that could be important from an ethnological perspective. The author discusses all relevant primary and secondary sources available in that period and even recollects his own experience from his earlier life in Georgia.
