Episode notes

The author argues that property law is a primary means of realizing the colonial desire for the possession of land. She says it's more about the active force of settler violence that makes it a reality. What are the stakes of thinking about colonialism as a project advanced both through high politics in the law and also the raw violence of gun gun power and conquest? That's a really great question.

Featuring Brenna Bhandar on Colonial Lives of Property: Law, Land and Racial Regimes of Ownership. The centuries-long history of how dominant conceptions of private property were (and are) made alongside race and racial hierarchies in colonial encounters stretching from Ireland and British Columbia to Australia and Palestine.
