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\u003cbr\u003e\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordon Christie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442628995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442628991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Gordon Christie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442247250175,"sku":"9781442628991","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87516d2a-b531-472a-bb99-a187bc00209b.jpg?v=1777196099","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/canadian-law-and-indigenous-selfdetermination-gordon-christie-9781442628991","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
