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.
