Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the evolution of public land tenure records, tracing their origins from colonial Massachusetts, where settlers and Native Americans negotiated land rights, to the development of the Torrens system in South Australia in the nineteenth century. It examines how both systems emerged from comparable settlement patterns and religious influences, emphasizing their role in shaping concepts of land ownership and rights. The analysis highlights the implications of these record systems in facilitating absolute ownership over indigenous lands.
