Despotic Dominion brings together the work of scholars whose study
of the evolution of property law in the colonies recognizes the
value in locating property law and rights within the broader
political, economic, and intellectual contexts of those societies.
The stimulus for this new interdisciplinary scholarship has emerged
from litigation and political action for the resolution of
questions of Aboriginal title and other disputes over property
rights in several former settler colonies, most notably Australia,
Canada, and New Zealand. As the essays in this book demonstrate, a
significant part of the recent explosion in interest and
speculation about property rights relates historically to the
securing of a more reliable cultural context for assessing these
claims. For this reason, Despotic Dominion will be of interest not
only to students and researchers of colonial history, but also to
scholars of native studies and law, as well as those interested in
the contested terrain of property rights.
