Unparalleled in its breadth and scope, Sovereignty: Frontiers of
Possibility brings together some of the freshest and most original
writing on sovereignty being done today. Sovereignty’s many
dimensions are approached from multiple perspectives and
experiences. It is viewed globally as an international question;
locally as an issue contested between Natives and settlers; and
individually as survival in everyday life. Through all this
diversity and across the many different national contexts from
which the contributors write, the chapters in this collection
address each other, staging a running conversation that truly
internationalises this most fundamental of political issues. In the
contemporary world, the age-old question of sovereignty remains a
key terrain of political and intellectual contestation, for those
whose freedom it promotes as well as for those whose freedom it
limits or denies. The law is by no means the only language in which
to think through, imagine, and enact other ways of living justly
together. Working both within and beyond the confines of the law at
once recognises and challenges its thrall, opening up pathways to
alternative possibilities, to other ways of determining and
self-determining our collective futures. The contributors,
Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike, converse across disciplinary
boundaries, responding to critical developments within history,
politics, anthropology, philosophy, and law. The ability of
disciplines to connect with each other - and with experiences lived
outside the halls of scholarship - is essential to understanding
the past and how it enables and fetters the pursuit of justice in
the present. Sovereignty: Frontiers of Possibility offers a
reinvigorated politics that understands the power of sovereignty,
explores strategies for resisting its lived effects, and imagines
other ways of governing our inescapably coexistent communities.
