The law of nations and the New World
Legal, theological and philosophical analysis of the ideology of colonialism. Focuses on sovereignty and right of self-government of Amerindians, leading to present "aboriginal problems" such as those posed by the Canadian constitutional affirmation of "existing aboriginal and treaty rights of the aboriginal people of Canada."
