Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Colonial Lives of Property Brenna Bhandar examines how modern property law contributes to the formation of racial subjects in settler colonies and to the development of racial capitalism. Examining both historical cases and ongoing processes of settler colonialism in Canada, Australia, and Israel and Palestine, Bhandar shows how the colonial appropriation of indigenous lands depends upon ideologies of European racial superiority as well as upon legal narratives that equate civilized life with English concepts of property. In this way, property law legitimates and rationalizes settler colonial practices while it racializes those deemed unfit to own property. The solution to these enduring racial and economic inequities, Bhandar demonstrates, requires developing a new political imaginary of property in which freedom is connected to shared practices of use and community rather than individual possession.

Download or read book Our Laws Their Lands written by Jaap de Moor and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 1994 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " The European colonial powers imposed their land laws on many countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. These were often at variance with indigenous customs regulating land use. After attaining independence the new states mostly adhered to the colonial laws and did not revert to earlier customary law. The present volume contains contributions to a conference supported by the European Science Foundation and held at the Internationales Wissenschaftsforum Heidelberg in November 1991. The countries discussed by the authors include several West African states, India and Indonesia in Asia and Mexico and Surinam in Latin America. The volume should be of interest to anthropologists and historians as well as to law scholars. Dietmar Rothermund ist Professor für die Geschichte Südasiens am Südasien-Institut der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg. Jap de Moor arbeitet am Centre for the History of European Expansion, Universität Leiden, Niederlande. "

Book excerpt: A History of American Land Law is the only comprehensive treatise on this important subject.

In Volume 2: Land Law in the American States, the text describes and documents for each state to what extent the English common law and land law became part of that state's basic jurisprudence. In addition, one chapter shows how American states have considered comprehensively reforming certain areas of land law, and the final chapter describes the development of and changes in dozens of American land law topics in modern times.

Download or read book Law and People in Colonial America written by Peter Charles Hoffer and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the men and women of colonial America, Peter Hoffer explains, law was a pervasive influence in everyday life. Because it was their law, the colonists continually adapted it to fit changing circumstances. They also developed a sense of legalism that influenced virtually all social, economic, and political relationships. This sense of intimacy with the law, Hoffer argues, assumed a transforming power in times of crisis. In the midst of a war of independence, American revolutionaries labored to explain how their rebellion could be lawful, while legislators wrote republican constitutions that would endure for centuries. Fully updated to take account of recent scholarship, this revised edition also offers a fresh look at the legal experiences of American Indians, Spaniard, and the French as people on the edges of English settlement. How did English law deal with neighboring societies? How does this posture help up to understand English law and the changes the New World forced upon it? How did non-English-speaking people view English law? Law and People in Colonial America provides a rigorous and lively introduction to early American law. It makes for essential reading.
Download or read book Colonial Precedents of Our National Land System as It Existed in 1800 Classic Reprint written by Amelia Clewley Ford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial Precedents of Our National Land System as It Existed in 1800 The object of this paper is to exhibit the continuity that ex ists between the colonial land systems and that system framed by the national legislators from 1785 to 1800. As has been said, seemingly new legislation was founded on the best of colonial precedents. The men in Congress drew chiefly on their own knowledge and experience of colonial land practices for the ideas embodied in the land laws; and keen discrimination was used in recommending the best features of the existing systems.' No complete account of the colonial land systems is intended. Only those customs and laws will be mentioned which throw light upon the relation between the colonial methods of dealing with public lands, and the federal system as it was in 1800. Whatever indicates an evolution of the federal plan from colon ial beginnings will be emphasized. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
