Canadian Law and Indigenous Self-Determination demonstrates how, over the last few decades, Canadian law has attempted to remove Indigenous sovereignty from the Canadian legal and social landscape. Adopting a naturalist analysis, Gordon Christie responds to questions about how to theorize this legal phenomenon, and how the study of law should accommodate the presence of diverse perspectives. Exploring the socially-constructed nature of Canadian law, Christie reveals how legal meaning, understood to be the outcome of a specific society, is being reworked to devalue the capacities of Indigenous societies. Addressing liberal positivism and critical postcolonial theory, Canadian Law and Indigenous Self-Determination considers the way in which Canadian jurists, working within a world circumscribed by liberal thought, have deployed the law in such a way as to attempt to remove Indigenous meaning-generating capacity."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Civil rights $z Canada. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. 650 0 $a Sociological jurisprudence $z Canada. 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969673 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969825 650 7 $a Sociological jurisprudence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123856 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318012014.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2940EA6083E11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
