Summary:
"Allan Greer examines the processes by which forms of
land
tenure emerged and
natives
were dispossessed from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries in New France (Canada), New Spain (Mexico), and New England. By focusing on
land
, territory, and
property
, he deploys the concept of '
property
formation' to consider the ways in which Europeans and their Euro-American descendants remade New World space as they laid claim to the continent's resources, extended the reach of empire, and established states and jurisdictions for themselves. Challenging long-held, binary assumptions of
property
as a single entity, which various groups did or did not possess, Greer highlights the diversity of indigenous and Euro-American
property
systems in the
early
modern
period."--From publisher.
