Settler Colonial Law & Sue the T. rex w/ the Leninist Lawyer
In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on The Leninist Lawyer to discuss settler colonial law, and use the case study of Sue the T. rex, which was extracted from native lands, to help demonstrate how this works. A really interesting conversation, and while we are using a dinosaur fossil as the case study, this conversation is much more about settler colonial law generally, and therefore should be relevant for all of you regardless of whether you find dinosaurs interesting or not! *Note, this episode was recorded before October 7, 2023, and has had its release delayed while we have been creating materials for understanding the history and ongoing conflict in Palestine* The Leninist Lawyer is an anonymous lawyer from Georgia that specializes in tribal law and worker's compensation law. While we cannot provide more details than this about him, you should follow him on twitter and ! Help support the show by signing up to our patreon, where you also will get bonus content:
