The CHA had this to say about his article: "In a masterfully contextualized legal history, Michael Borsk presents a puzzle about the making of property rights after the Royal Proclamation of 1763. The proclamation supposedly enshrined the right of preemption as the crown카지노 게임 컬렉션s sole right to make Indigenous land into marketable property. But colonial officials worked within the reality that Indigenous laws also made property. Unlike earlier dismissive discussions of 카지노 게임 컬렉션Indian deed games,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Borsk takes seriously that land conveyances were drawn up by Indigenous people, using settlers카지노 게임 컬렉션 legal tools, to confer specific Indigenous property rights on settler men, their Indigenous wives, and their children. In this subtle, expert, and impressively researched account, Borsk reaches across colonial boundaries with care to reveal how differences in kin obligations among Indigenous communities and between crown and (post-revolutionary) federal officials produced different answers in different places to the foundational question, 카지노 게임 컬렉션Whose laws make property?카지노 게임 컬렉션 which Borsk shows cannot be answered without Indigenous family history."
Congratulations Mike!
