Description: Colonial Lives of PropertyLaw, Land, and Racial Regimes of Ownership Author(s): Brenna Bhandar Format: Paperback Publisher: Duke University Press, United States Imprint: Duke University Press ISBN-13: 9780822371465, 978-0822371465 Synopsis In Colonial Lives of Property Brenna Bhandar examines how modern property law contributes?to the formation of racial subjects in settler colonies and to the development of racial?capitalism. Examining both historical cases and ongoing processes of settler colonialism in Canada, Australia, and Israel and Palestine, Bhandar shows how the colonial appropriation of indigenous lands depends upon ideologies of European racial superiority?as well as upon legal narratives that equate?civilized life with English concepts of property. In this way, property law legitimates and rationalizes settler colonial practices while it racializes those deemed unfit to own property. The solution to these enduring racial and economic inequities, Bhandar demonstrates, requires developing a new political imaginary of property in which freedom is connected to shared practices of use and community rather than individual possession.
