Indian Law/Race Law: A Five-Hundred-Year HistoryBloomsbury Academic, 1992 M06 16 - 192 páginas This intricate volume reviews the historical development of the discriminatory body of law that applies to the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere, beginning with the papal bull Inter Caetera of 1493 and ending with the recent developments of the United Nations' Working Group on Indigenous Populations. James Falkowski explains how the legal system of the European colonizers, which was later adopted by the European settler population, developed special doctrines that applied only to the indigenous peoples and legalized the erosion of the rights of the vanishing race. Falkowski demonstrates how two systems of law--one applying to civilized peoples, and the other to the backwards races--were devised and justified. |
