DESCRIPTION:<p>The &lsquo\;state of nature&rsquo\; has many meanings.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;In previous research\, I have analyzed how John Locke&rsquo\;s understanding of the state of nature is central to his colonial justifications of settlers&rsquo\; right to property in &lsquo\;waste&rsquo\; lands of America via his agrarian labour theory of property.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;While land and agrarian labour have been central to the process of colonization back to its earliest etymological origins in the Latin word &lsquo\;colonia&rsquo\;\, in this paper I examine how the positing of land in its natural state as &lsquo\;empty&rsquo\; or &lsquo\;waste&rsquo\; in the modern British colonial imagination has shaped domestic and settler colonial policies from the 17th to 19th centuries\; manifested in the practices of enclosure in Britain\, dispossession in America and mass resettlement/removal of &lsquo\;idle&rsquo\; and/or &lsquo\;irrational&rsquo\; people(s) both at home and abroad.</p>
