New Monograph

My first book, titled The Laws and the Land: The Settler Colonial Invasion of Kahnawà:ke in Nineteenth-Century Canada (UBC Press and Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History) was released in September 2021. It is available for order through UBC Press, with your local bookstore, and also with exploitative online retailers, which I urge you to avoid.

If your reading group or academic department would like to meet with me to discuss it in person or online, I would be glad to set something up!
