The politics of domination with which the United States oppresses
and exploits the Native Nations, is a violation of the intentions
of the framers of the Constitution, and the meaning of the text
itself. The arguments of the advocates of the genocide of the 1830s
and their appeasers have come to determine the law, policy, and
conduct of the United States, while the arguments of the opponents
of what came to be known as the Trail of Tears have largely been
forgotten, at least among non-Native people. By recovering these
arguments, and allowing readers to explore large questions of law,
justice, genocide, and politics in a context closely tethered to
empirical evidence and careful argument, this book should
facilitate more widespread understanding of the Native Nations'
rights to their treaty-guaranteed dominion over their own lands and
perhaps help open communication between the American people and the
peoples of the Native Nations; communication on which the emergence
of what Martin Luther King, Jr. called "the beloved community"
depends. Arguments over Genocide aims to reach a broad audience of
college students, in courses on American History, Indigenous
Studies, and the United States and the World, as well as in more
specialized upper division courses on constitutional law,
American/European imperialism, and resistance, independence, and
decolonization movements. Individuals interested in the founding of
the United States, in the Trail of Tears, and in 19th century
American history should find the work compelling, as should legal
practitioners in the field.
