Sharing the Sovereign: Indigenous Peoples, Recognition, Treaties and the State

Meer over het boek

Recognition theory is explored as a means to foster non-colonial and lasting political relationships between Indigenous nations and the state. The book highlights Indigenous Australian advocacy for a Voice to Parliament and treaties, illustrating the implications of recognition in politics and policy. It addresses critiques from Canadian First Nations scholars regarding the theory's assimilationist tendencies, while ultimately positing recognition as a transformative practice that demands new perspectives on citizenship and sovereignty.
