The Indigenous Paradox

Rights, Sovereignty, and Culture in the Americas

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Indigeneity contains a paradox: indigenous communities are incorporated into and separated from the legal system of the postcolonial nation state. The Indigenous Paradox explores indigenous rights cases from north and south America in order to shed light on issues of shared sovereignty, multiculturalism, and legal pluralism.
