Opis

Consent has long been used to establish the legitimacy of society. But when one asks -- who consented? how? to what type of community? -- consent becomes very elusive, more myth than reality. This is particularly true when the spotlight is on the relationship between indigenous and nonindigenous peoples. In this volume, leading and emerging scholars in legal and political theory explore the various meanings that have been attached to consent as the foundation for political community and law, especially in indigenous contexts.
