This book deals with the clash between the claims of western settlers for land and those of the indigenous inhabitants of Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. It is about property law, particularly property rights in land, and in the diversity of its analyses, it skilfully shows that property rights are subject to ideological conceptions as to how society should be organized. It is at the same time also an historic research into the developments about the thinking on property rights in land. Law, political science and historic research form an excellent amalgam. This book is indeed very interesting.
