This sovereign land
2001
Kemmis, Daniel
"In This Sovereign Land, Daniel Kemmis offers a radical new proposal for keeping public lands public but shifting their jurisdiction from nation to region. Kemmis, a leading western Democrat and committed environmentalist, argues against those who wish to privatize the public lands. He offers a regional approach that takes into account natural topographical and ecological features, directed by local residents with a vested interest in ensuring the sustainability of their communities. In effect, Kemmis carries John Wesley Powell's recommendations to their logical conclusion."

This Sovereign Land provides a provocative opening to a discussion about how democracy and ecological sustainability can go hand in hand."--Jacket.
