Treaties with American Indians: An Encyclopedia of Rights, Conflicts, and Sovereignty (3 volume set)

Treaties with American Indians: An Encyclopedia of Rights, Conflicts, and Sovereignty is the first comprehensive introduction to the treaties that promised land, self-government, financial assistance, and cultural protections to many of the over 500 tribes of North America (including Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada).
Going well beyond describing terms and conditions, it is the only reference to explore the historical, political, legal, and geographical contexts in which each treaty took shape.

Foucault, Freedom and SovereigntyFoucault, Freedom and Sovereignty

This book presents a novel conception of political freedom developed on the basis of the work of Foucault.

Ramses II, pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty, left an indelible mark on ancient Egypt. Often known as Ramses the Great, his reign was a golden age when political and cultural life thrived. He created spectacular monuments, including the magnificent Abu Simbel temples, the royal city of Piramses, and his mortuary temple Ramesseum. As a military leader, he expanded the Egyptian sovereignty from Nubia in the south to Syria in the west. Brilliant and ambitious, he forged with the Hittite Empire the first-ever peace treaty.

Native American Sovereignty (Native Americans and the Law)

Native American Sovereignty (Native Americans and the Law)Full legal sovereignty includes the power to make decisions about relations with other nations and control of internal government functions. The essays in this volume offer a sampling of different kinds of political, economic, and social sovereignty, conveying the diverse opinions about sovereignty among Native American and non-Native American scholars. Moreover, they show how historically, how sovereignty has a modern meaning. Federal policy toward Native American nations today is ostensibly one of self-determination. It is the subject of an important debate that provides the focus of this collection of how this Federal policy fits into the Native American ideal for sovereignty.
