Abstract
"Through focusing on the political history of New Zealand during its imperial settlement, this book offers a fresh assessment of the history of indigenous property rights. It shows how native title became a constitutional frame within which political authority was formed and contested at the heart of empire and the colonial peripheries." - Voila
