In a comparative study of law and imperialism, Ford argues that modern settler sovereignty emerged when settlers in North America and Australia defined indigenous theft and violence as crime. Ford traces the emergence of modern settler sovereignty in contests between settlers and indigenous people in Georgia and the colony of New South Wales.
