Subject: Law, history and postcolonialism


Hello,
 I've been subscribed to this list for a while and I'm wondering whether 
anyone out there is doing work in a similar area. I'm a PhD student and I 
doing work on colonial constructions of law, history and art- and 
considering the problems implicit in most conceptions of law and history- 
especially the problematic intersection of (post)modernism and 
(post)colonialism 
and the way this impacts on discussions about law, authority and justice in 
multicultural or bicultural societies.
Thus far my work has focused mainly on New Zealand/ Aotearoa, the 
Treaty of Waitangi and discussions about sovereignty, authority and 
justice. I have been looking at Bhabha, Spivak, Derrida, Foucault, During 
etc along readings on NZ history, politics etc.
Anyone else out there doing work on indigenous rights, law justice etc.
regards,
Stephen Pritchard
