Bringing together perspectives from the fields of religious studies, history, philosophy, history of law, economics, and sociology, this volume analyzes practices of relating to landed property in Europe and North America as a means of both centering and destabilizing property claims. How is space conceived and constituted via historical and religious claims to landed property? How is dispossession enacted and theorized in changing property orders? Engaging postcolonial critiques of landed property, this volume’s twelve contributions provide much-needed contextualization of ways in which the histories of divine property, empire, settler-colonialism, slavery, and Indigenous disappropriation inform contemporary practices of landed property. This book will contribute significantly to bridging theory and practice in critiques of contemporary property orders in Europe and North America, providing methodological inspiration for grounding theoretical discussions in nuanced understanding of the past.
