Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. A Christian imagination of colonial discovery permeated the early modern world, but legal histories developed in very different ways depending on imperial jurisdictions. Indigenous Rights and the Legacies of the Bible: From Moses to Mabo explores the contradictions and ironies that emerged in the interactions between biblical warrants and colonial theories of Indigenous natural rights. The early debates in the Americas mutated in the British colonies with a range ofdifferent outcomes after the American Revolution, and tracking the history of biblical interpretation provides an illuminating pathway through these historical complexities.Aground-breaking legal judgement in the High Court of Australia, Mabo v. Queensland (1992), demonstrates the enduring legacies of debates over the previous five centuries. The case reveals that the Australian colonies are the only jurisdiction of the English common law tradition within which no treaties were made with the First Nations. Instead, there is a peculiar development of terra nullius ideology, which can be traced back to the historic influences of the book of Genesis in Puritan thoughtin the seventeenth century.Having identified both similarities and differences between various colonial arguments, and their overt dependence on early modern theologicalreasoning, Mark G. Brett examines the paradoxical permutations of imperial and anti-imperial motifs in the biblical texts themselves.Concepts of rights shifted over the centuries from theological to secular frameworks, and more recently, from anthropocentric assumptions to ecologically embedded concepts of Indigenous rights and responsibilities. Bearing in mind the differences between ancient and modern notions of indigeneity, a fresh understanding of this history provestimely as settler colonial states reflect on the implications of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007). Brett's illuminating insights in this detailed study areparticularly relevant for the four states that initially voted against the Declaration: the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Mark G. Brett the explores the complexities that have emerged in the interactions between biblical interpretation and colonial theories of Indigenous natural rights. This wide-ranging study shows how the legacies of these interactions still shape the laws of property and our understanding of Indigenous rights and responsibilities today.
