I was pretty positively disposed to this book from the little slap-slap given to Unwise Theory in the first three pages, and it truly taught me a lot, although I couldn't help but think that if I'd read the intro, the epilogue, and chapter summaries and a couple of case studies for the rest of the book, I'd have been more or less just as far ahead. Ah, but the journey is half the etc. Land, then sovereignty! No extinguishment of title! It's good to remember that I'm a lefty on all the issues show more and just a reactionary when it comes to people being fucking morons. show less
Very interesting set of chapters on evolution of BC, somewhat PC but generally justifiably so
Interesting mix of history and geography, both urban and rural
