Republic of Indians

Empires of Indigenous Law in the Early American South

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"A sweeping history of the Native Southerners who challenged European empires from the inside. This book tells the story of Indigenous leaders who wrote their principles into Spanish and English law. Their petitions stand as enduring contributions to American political thought, and it was these "vassals" and "subjects" who gave meaning to the modern idea of tribal sovereignty"--
