This book is concerned with the contrast between indigenous claims based on pre-contract rights to land resources and crucially self-government and the sovereign prerogatives claimed by liberal-democratic settler states. It is based on a number of key events in the political struggles of indigenous minorities in Australia Canada New Zealand and the United States and is written to appeal to lawyers and jurists particularly those working in Native Title law philosophers culture theorists and critical legal theorists.
