ON SOVEREIGNTY AND OTHER DELLUSIONS

On Sovereignty and Other Political Delusions draws on political theory and on two case studies the encounter between Anglo-America n settlers and Native American tribes, and the search for Jewish sovereignty in Palestine to probe the allure of the idea of sover eign freedom and its self-defeating logic. It concludes by shifting its sights from political to economic sovereign power and by pur suing intimations of non-sovereign freedom in the contemporary age.
