Indigeneity: Before and Beyond the Law

Summary

This book is concerned with the contrasting juridical narratives of the coloniser and the colonised – specifically, of non-Indigenous and Indigenous law – and their expression in law and literature. This book draws on a range of theorists to argue that Indigenous narrative evokes a disruptive and transformative dynamism within non-Indigenous law.
