Allan Greer examines the processes by which forms of land tenure
emerged and natives were dispossessed from the sixteenth to the
eighteenth centuries in New France (Canada), New Spain (Mexico),
and New England. By focusing on land, territory, and property, he
deploys the concept of 'property formation' to consider the ways in
which Europeans and their Euro-American descendants remade New
World space as they laid claim to the continent's resources,
extended the reach of empire, and established states and
jurisdictions for themselves. Challenging long-held, binary
assumptions of property as a single entity, which various groups
did or did not possess, Greer highlights the diversity of
indigenous and Euro-American property systems in the early modern
period. The book's geographic scope, comparative dimension, and
placement of indigenous people on an equal plane with Europeans
makes it unlike any previous study of early colonization and
contact in the Americas.
