ABSTRACT
Part I of this book developed an analysis of sovereignty as a practice that has shaped political possibility not only for Indigenous peoples, but also more widely. The second traced a series of contemporary struggles with and against sovereignty. It emphasized how practices of sovereignty work through law, politics, and theory to enable and constrain the struggles of Indigenous peoples. This in turn poses the challenge the remainder of the book takes up: how might we engage more effectively with practices of sovereignty? What kind of work does the previous analysis suggest is necessary for those who seek to respond to the past violences of sovereignty, including those visited upon Indigenous peoples? Or, more simply, where to from here?
