Index



“This book is an original reframing of questions of title, conquest, and authority that will interest readers in indigenous studies. It is also a careful, critical reading of contemporary theories of property, natural rights, the state, and consultative democracy—of significant interest to political theorists.”

—R. A. Cramer, Choice
