Étienne Le Roy, l'un des pères de l'anthropologie du droit dont le creuset a été la connaissance des formes de partage de la terre dans les cultures africaines, nous propose dans cet ouvrage de mettre ce savoir au service d'une compréhension des communs émergents dans nos sociétés modernes. Déroulant le fil de la juridicité des communs, l’auteur nous amène à distinguer les néo-communs, ceux qui sont produits par la société capitaliste elle-même pour en comprendre toute la complexité et dégager les implications autant politiques et juridiques que scientifiques de leur émergence. Ouvrage posthume, La révolution des communs et le droit nous transmet toute l'énergie que son auteur n'a cessé de puiser dans le dialogue interculturel et la conviction que le pluralisme normatif nous apporte des outils pour nous projeter dans la postmodernité.
