- This 258-page book was developed over 5 years. It advances an in-depth, multi-perspectival conceptual analysis of the state, in terms of its form, ethos, and undertakings. It pursues this substantively and methodologically by studying a trans-national sociolegal drama of withdrawal, working with diverse academic literatures from law, anthropology, political and social theory, geography, religion, public administration and play studies. The book draws on an extensive archive of legal materials (including affidavits, tribunal decisions and court judgments) and media coverage, primarily in Britain, the US, and Canada, all addressing the conflict between conservative Christians, LGBT equality rights, and liberal state action.
