Description: Draws on political theory and on two case studies--the encounter between Anglo-American settlers and Native American tribes, and the search for Jewish sovereignty in Palestine--to probe the allure of the idea of sovereign freedom and its self-defeating logic. It concludes by shifting its sights from political to economic sovereign power and by pursuing intimations of non-sovereign freedom in the contemporary age.--Provided by publisher.
