Adopting a naturalist analysis, Gordon Christie responds to questions about how to theorize this legal phenomenon, and how the study of law should accommodate the presence of diverse perspectives. Exploring the socially-constructed nature of Canadian law, Christie reveals how legal meaning, understood to be the outcome of a specific society, is being reworked to devalue the capacities of Indigenous societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAddressing liberal positivism and critical postcolonial theory, \u003ci\u003eCanadian Law and Indigenous Self-Determination\u003c\/i\u003e considers the way in which Canadian jurists, working within a world circumscribed by liberal thought, have deployed the law in such a way as to attempt to remove Indigenous meaning-generating capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University Of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50144535576824,"sku":"978-1-442-62899-1","price":57.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0454\/6868\/0352\/files\/Unknown_795da41d-4b97-4ace-97c9-190746f383e0.jpg?v=1786500088","url":"https:\/\/haidagwaiimuseumgiftshop.ca\/products\/canadian-law-and-indigenous-self-determination","provider":"Haida Gwaii Museum Gift Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
