"In "Hybrid Constitutions," Vicki Hsueh challenges the prevailing tendency in political theory to find in early-modern European colonialism the origins of modern liberalism's exclusions and inclination toward uniformity. Through her detailed analyses of charters, constitutions, and treaties, she shows that colonial encounters--including encounters and negotiations among Europeans themselves, as well as between Europeans and Native Americans--were much more complex, contingent, and contested than broad-brush accounts would imply. This subtle and impressive book will be important for colonial historians and political theorists alike." --David Armitage, author of "The Declaration of Independence: A Global History" |
