# Global And Insurgent Legalities Ser

The Global And Insurgent Legalities series is a scholarly book series focusing on the intersection of law, land, and power. This particular volume, Inland Empire: Settler Colonialism and Modern Architecture in Southern California, examines how modernist architectural design supported settler hegemony. By analyzing sites like the Aguas Calientes Spa, the series explores the relationship between mid-century design and the legal termination of Native American territorial sovereignty.

This academic novel series analyzes the exploitation of Indigenous land and water supplies through the lens of architectural history. The text details how developers used modernist paradigms to frame desert lands as empty, while the Cahuilla community resisted appropriation and assimilation. Through archival research, the series addresses critical themes of settler colonialism, historic building conservation, and the ongoing struggle for Indigenous land tenure in North America.
