description: Ranging across law, history, and postcolonial studies in a singular exploration of imperialism, these innovative essays offer new perspectives on the length and breadth of empire. Native title, truth and reconciliation commissions, and access to land and natural resources are issues which are currently the subject of much international debate. This book examines those crucial issues and others, including the judicial construction of racial categories, the gendered definitions of nation-states, the historical construction of citizenship, and the reformation of property rights of married women.
