More about the book
Focusing on the concept of the 'lawful forest,' this book examines the interplay between law, property, and community through a critical historical lens. It highlights moments when conventional property ideologies falter, revealing alternative spatial arrangements. By analyzing various case studies, including the Forest Charter and radical movements, the authors argue for the enduring presence of communal land relationships amidst prevailing private rights. The work integrates critical property theory with legal geography and emphasizes themes of spatial justice and Indigenous perspectives, enriched by thematic illustrations.
