Focusing on New Zealand, the book highlights the ways in which shifts in national identity shape and limit legal claims for redress for historical racial injustices internationally. Key features: * Analyzes the identity configurations produced by New Zealand's process of 'settling' colonial injustices and highlights the wider relevance for other groups such as Australian aborigines and Native Americans. * Traces the connections and discontinuities between the free trade imperialism of the mid-19th Century and the Free Trade Globalization of the late 20th Century. * Rich, rigorous interdisciplinarity and use of a range of theoretical perspectives provides insights relevant to legal theorists, feminists and legal scholars internationally."--Provided by publisher Notes "First published 2006 by Ashgate Publishing"--Copyright page Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed February 16, 2018) Subject Law -- New Zealand -- History Law -- Social aspects -- New Zealand -- History Māori (New Zealand people) -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- New Zealand -- History Legal polycentricity -- New Zealand -- History National characteristics, New Zealand -- History LAW -- Essays.
