Indigenous Rights in Settler Colonies
By recovering fragments of the political negotiations that took place between native peoples and European colonizing powers in the settler colonies of Canada and Australia, this chapter argues that treaty-making was central to the ability of Indigenous peoples to assert the rights they wanted, rather than those they were granted, against imperial and colonial states. In settler colonies, colonial states used the principles of protection and assim…
What is a colonial treaty? Questioning the visible and the invisible in European and non-European legal negotiations
This article examines the use of the notion of ‘colonial treaties’ to describe the agreements that European states concluded with non-European polities from the late fifteenth century onwards. Given the absence of such a notion in international law treatises, the article first traces its genealogy before examining how it has influenced the scholarly understanding of legal negotiations between Europeans and non-Europeans. The article reflects, in …
Commemorating French colonialism in Australia
This article explores an unusual ‘colonial’ monument in Australia and the different uses to which it has been put since its erection in 1826. The Lapérouse monument in Botany Bay (Sydney) commemorates Count of Lapérouse, a French rather than a British explorer, who disappeared shortly after departing from Botany Bay in 1788. Examining the ambivalent and changing memories of empire that have been attached to this monument over two centuries allows…
Jennifer Pitts. Boundaries of the International
Emancipation within Empire
This article aims at shedding new light on the salience of empire as a political idea even at the height of decolonization. It discusses why and how colonial subjects - here Muslim Algerians - would continue, when faced with a choice, to look to empires rather than nation-states. The article focuses on six women and men who, during Algeria's war of independence, rejected the nation-state as their political horizon and imagined a decolonized empir…
Nobility Lost
Empire by Treaty
This book is part of an intellectual project aimed at including indigenous voices in the debate over European appropriation of overseas territories. It is concerned with European efforts to negotiate with indigenous peoples the cession of their sovereignty through treaties. To grasp the extent of European legal engagement with indigenous peoples, the book examines the history of treaty making in European empires (Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Frenc…

IntroductionThe Problem of Indigenous Claim Making in Colonial History
This chapter addresses methodological pitfalls historians face when working on indigenous claim making. These problems include: a teleological understanding of dispossession; the paucity of evidence; the difficulty in assessing authorship when indigenous claims rely on colonial records; the confusion between sovereignty and property claims. This chapter also reconsiders the understanding of colonial history in the light of the recovered legal dia…
Native ClaimsIndigenous Law against Empire, 1500–1920
This book shows that from the moment European expansion commenced through to the 19th century, indigenous peoples from America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand drafted legal strategies to contest dispossession. Colonisation was countered not only by force but also by ideas. Indigenous peoples made claims to territory using legal arguments drawn from their own understanding of a law which applies between peoples: that is, a kind of law of nation…
