Ownership, Authority, and Self-Determination by Burke A Hendrix

Ownership, Authority, and Self-Determination by Burke A Hendrix

Considers the contributions of philosophical theories of property rights, political obligation, and self-determination to our moral understanding of political control over geographical space. Focuses on American Indian and other indigenous claims to a separate political status, including potentially to full legal independence.

“This is an important and original book, not only for those people interested in indigenous claims, but for all political theorists interested in the difficult questions of political legitimacy and the relationship of political authority to land and people”

—Margaret Moore, Queens University

“This book is an original reframing of questions of title, conquest, and authority that will interest readers in indigenous studies. It is also a careful, critical reading of contemporary theories of property, natural rights, the state, and consultative democracy—of significant interest to political theorists.”

—R. A. Cramer Choice
