Indigenous Sovereignty and the Democratic Project

By Steven Curry

This book is concerned with the contrast between indigenous claims based on pre-contract rights to land, resources and, crucially, self-government, and the sovereign prerogatives claimed by liberal-democratic settler states. It is based on a number of key events in the political struggles of indigenous minorities in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States and is written to appeal to lawyers and jurists, particularly those working in Native Title law, philosophers, culture theorists and critical legal theorists.
