For more than five centuries, the history of the Americas has been told primarily through exploration, settlement, revolution, and nation-building.
But beneath these familiar narratives lies a deeper legal and ideological framework that continues to shape property rights, sovereignty, constitutional law, and the relationship between states and Indigenous peoples.
America Then & Now examines the historical evolution of the Doctrine of Discovery, the transformation of religious authority into secular legal doctrine, and the enduring influence of these ideas on modern political and legal institutions.
Drawing upon historical sources, legal history, and political thought, this book explores how concepts developed during European expansion became embedded within the legal systems of the modern Americas.
It also considers contemporary debates surrounding Indigenous rights, constitutional reform, and the continuing legacy of colonial institutions.
Balanced, thoroughly researched, and accessible to general readers, America Then & Now offers a thought-provoking examination of how the past continues to shape the present.
