Abstract:

On what grounds can we justify the transformation of squatters into owners? To understand the moral significance of adverse possession, the author proposes an analogy. Much of the moral analysis of adverse possession has proceeded on the basis that adverse possessors are land thieves. The author first explains why the analogy of adverse possessor to land thief is misleading. Then, she argues that there is a much closer analogy between adverse possession and revolution or, more precisely, a bloodless coup d’état. The recognition of the adverse possessor’s (private) authority solves the moral pr

Abstract:

Abstract In the decade before the California Gold Rush, the popular idea that Americans held a natural right to land as a legacy of the American Revolution was enriched and expanded by such events as the Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island, the Anti-Rent War in New York, the flood of Irish refugees into New York City, growing opposition to the expansion of slavery into new territories acquired during the war with Mexico, and the Revolution of 1848 in Europe. These events strengthened popular sovereignty and the notion that human beings had rights that transcended those defined by legislatures, cour

Abstract:

AbstractThis essay considers two land disputes that took place in the first decade of U.S. rule in the Philippines and that reached the U.S. Supreme Court:Cariño v. Insular Government(1909) andReavis v. Fianza(1909). In arguing their cases, litigants were forced to reckon with the property rights regime of the former Spanish empire. In this regard, the cases affirm the import of inter-imperial frameworks for understanding colonial problems of land ownership and sovereignty. When arguing over the rightful owners of Philippine lands, parties to these cases also drew on the history and legal base

Abstract:

There is, in our sense of place, little cognisance of what lies underground. Yet our sense of place, instinctive, unconscious, primeval, has its own underground: the secret spaces which mirror our insides; the world beneath the skin. Our roots lie beneath the ground, with the minerals and the dead.

Abstract:

Abstract A high-profile squatter movement in Gold Rush-era Sacramento revealed a widening breach between squatters as debated in Washington and the actual settlers in the West. As Congress clashed over California statehood in 1850—with southerners fixating on the would-be state’s antislavery constitution as evidence of “squatter sovereignty” run amok—American settlers led by Charles Robinson rallied under the “Squatter” banner to secure rights to Mexican land. While in important respects fulfilling the promise of Squatter Democracy by extending white American sovereignty over the continent, th

Abstract In 1860, the divided Democrats fielded two candidates for president—John C. Breckinridge, southern planters’ standard-bearer, and Stephen A. Douglas, the favorite of many “plain republicans” in the North and West. Douglas struggled to shed his association with squatters, but the “Squatter King” label stuck as both the Breckinridge faction and Lincoln’s Republicans lampooned him for his unfaltering adherence to popular sovereignty, showing how disruptive the squatter trope had become to the party that had given it life and capitalized on it for so long.

Abstract:

Abstract In Kansas in the mid-1850s, competing squatter bands became on-the-ground proxies for antagonistic forces in the national showdown over slavery. Stephen A. Douglas and his allies seeded the field of battle with the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which repealed the Missouri Compromise and opened the territories to white settlers under the principle of popular sovereignty before Indian titles had been cleared or lands surveyed. Squatters filled the resulting vacuum. Doing what they had always done, they organized squatter associations to secure their members’ claims, lending a degree of o

Abstract:

Abstract Squatter Democracy arose on promises of boundless opportunity for white male partisans and crashed because it sold greed as generosity, peddled violence as virtue, and failed to recognize the dangerous forces it had unleashed until it was too late. Rhetorically, the shapeshifting squatter yeoman could, for a time, advance the fortunes of the white populations of the North and South. In reality, this mythic figure more closely matched the small family farmer than the slaveholding planter. Squatters could embody sovereignty but not to the benefit of both free farmers and increasingly an

Abstract American emigrants capitalized on the ideology of Manifest Destiny and settler-friendly land policies to claim Oregon from Great Britain, making US acquisition of that territory a crowning achievement of Squatter Democracy. But the war with Mexico, which broke out at the same time, struck even some of the most ardent expansionists as dangerous overreach. For many northerners, the commencement of hostilities confirmed suspicions that proslavery men firmly held the reins of the Democracy.

Abstract Robert J. Walker did not want to become governor of Kansas Territory, but when President Buchanan pleaded, he relented. A progenitor of Squatter Democracy, he professed an unshakable commitment to letting the people of Kansas determine the status of slavery. From the moment he arrived, his every move became grist for rumor and recrimination. If he interacted with free-state men, the South cried foul. If he was seen in proslavery quarters, the free staters registered displeasure. Preaching strict neutrality on slavery and arguing that peace would open fields of opportunity for all, Wal

Abstract:

The enactment of Jamaica’s independence in Kingston on 6 August 1962 did not sweep away the colonial structures that had been put in place for the previous three centuries. Constitutional change had been taking place since 1944, but unemployment and dependence on the informal sector of the economy, coupled to poor housing and slum formation, could not be put right in short order. This chapter focuses on employment/unemployment and housing issues in Kingston in the first decades after independence, and makes a direct comparison with conditions in the last years of colonialism.

Abstract:

This chapter provides an overview of the birth of so-called self-defensive telematics in squatted social centers and the debates concerning the nature of autonomy as a space of vitality between network rights and affective needs. It describes the role that the autonomous movement played in hosting some of the first experiments in infrastructural sovereignty by hackers and free culture activists. It also delves into the language, praxis, and alliances of autonomia that offered free culture activists a provisional template for making sense of their own tinkering with the assemblages of liberatio
