Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"
Remapping Sovereignty places Indigenous anticolonial thought at the center of twentieth century global struggles over nation-state, political economy, and international order. Through a beautiful synthesis of political theory and history, Temin not only powerfully reconceives classic debates but he also demonstrates the essential conceptual importance of North American Indigenous arguments for making sense of the past and future of the decolonial project. The result is a truly innovative work of political reconstruction, with critical insights for both scholars and activists." -- Aziz Rana | author of "The Constitutional Bind"
"Temin aptly describes aspects of historical and contemporaneous social context associated with each theorist, including treaties; settler state citizenship; termination policy; the African American civil rights
movement focused on individual integrationist inclusion in the settler state; the Canadian multicultural approach; capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy; “Third World” anticolonialism, decolonization, and socialism; and relations between radical Indigenous activists and established Indigenous nations." * Journal of Ethnic and Racial Studies *
