6" x 9" 352 Pages Indexed. Light crease to bottom of front cover and three black remainder marks on the bottom page edges. No other marks or stamps. Interior text pages are flawless. Exploring the history of contemporary legal thought on the rights and status of the West's colonized indigenous tribal peoples, Williams here traces the development of the themes that justified and impelled Spanish, English, and American conquests of the New World. This book is surprising for its depth, for its rich investigation of original sources, and for its scope. The author teaches us how and why these policies arose, how they were canted at the outset, and the bias that still exists in court decisions and laws affected by them. His work will be valuable to lawyers, law scholars, and historians.
