Despite the fact that the appropriation of land and resources of
the so-called New World necessarily involved the dispossession and
exploitation (and, sometimes, genocide) of the original inhabitants
of colonized nations, it was not until the late twentieth century
that Indigenous Peoples attained any meaningful degree of legal
recognition in both national and international spheres. Until then
Indigenous Peoples (also known as 'First Nations' and 'First
Peoples') were routinely denied any form of juridical identity.
Research in and around Indigenous Peoples and the Law is now very
wide-ranging and flourishes as never before. But much of the
relevant literature remains inaccessible or is highly specialized
and compartmentalized, so that it is difficult for many of those
who are interested in the subject to obtain an informed, balanced,
and comprehensive overview. This new four-volume collection meets
the need for an authoritative anthology to make sense of the
subject's vast and dispersed literature and the continuing
explosion in research output. Drawing on a wide variety of
materials from a broad range of disciplines and theoretical
approaches, the collection gathers canonical and cutting-edge major
works in a 'one-stop' resource to enable users to understand how
the law Indigenous Peoples encounter has been transformed from an
oppressive, rights-denying system to a site of contestation and for
the articulation of claims. The collection includes a full index
and is supplemented by introductions to each volume, newly written
by the editors, which place the gathered materials in their
historical and intellectual context. Indigenous Peoples and the Law
is an essential reference work which will be valued as a vital
resource by students, scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners.
