Liberal democracies are predicated on popular sovereignty - the
ideal of government for and by the People. Throughout the developed
world indigenous peoples continue to deny legitimacy to otherwise
popular governments because their consent has never been sought.
Using examples from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA,
this book tackles the problem of democratic legitimation from the
perspective of indigenous peoples, arguing that having suffered
conquest, these people cannot be said to consent until conditions
for their consent have been realised. These conditions include
constitutional change that recognizes indigenous law as the 'law of
the land' - a radical proposal going far beyond the current limits
of self-determination.
