Book review: Chris Heffer, Frances Rock and John Conley (eds), Legal–Lay Communication: Textual Travels in the Law

instrument for waging class struggle, while in English-language public culture ‘critical thinking as a discourse, is a tool of distinction’ (p. 181). Post-socialist Slovak education is making efforts to cultivate the students’ critical thinking along a similar track to what is cherished in US universities. The book provides an eye-opening and inspiring understanding of critical thinking and civil criticism in post-socialist Slovakia, on the other hand. The ethnographic approach allows Larson to gain insider meanings and present a local interpretation. More importantly, it allows him to launch a challenge to those who assume that post-1989 Slovakia should uncritically adopt the norms of liberal democratic countries for its public culture without considering how the past saturates the present, and how critical thought has been influenced by interpersonal interaction, sentiments involved in criticism, and the collective intentionality of the social agents under political systems.
