Property - Meanings, Histories, Theories (Paperback, New)

This critique of property examines its classical conception: addressing its ontology and history, as well as considering its symbolic aspects and connection to social relations of power.

It is organized around three themes:

• 
  

  
  

• the ways in which concepts of property are symbolically and practically connected to relations of power
• 
  
• the 'objects' of property in changing contexts of materialism
• 
  
• challenges to the Western idea of property posed by colonial and post-colonial contexts, such as the disempowerment through property of whole cultures, the justifications for colonial expansion and bio piracy.
• 
  

Dealing with the symbolism of property, its history, traditional philosophical accounts and cultural difference, Margaret Davis has written an invaluable volume for all law students interested in property law.
