Episode notes

From the perspective of the colonial administrator, there's both an urgent need and the political space to innovate as twisted as it is in this calm context. The aristocracy back home are resisting because it's one of their points of conflict with the rising bourgeoisie. But then ultimately, those ascended economic forces allow or propel these methods developed in the colonies to be applied in the metropolitan. Regardless of what the aristocracy might have to say about it.

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.
