Declarations of Interdependence

This book takes up the postcolonial challenge for law and explains how the problems of legal recognition for Indigenous peoples are tied to an orthodox theory of law. The author focuses on prominent aspects of legal discourse and process and includes case studies and examples principally drawn from Australia and Canada. As a contribution to legal theory the study advances legal pluralist approaches not just by imagining a way to ’make space for’ Indigenous legal traditions but by actually working with their insights in building theory.
