Examples
-
As the legal escamotage of terra nullius denied the existence of Indigenous land tenure, opening up land and resources to European settlers, so cultura nullius is being used to justify government and market policy efforts to overlay our own, often foreign values and visions, on those that are rhetorically effaced and trade-off one cultural body of knowledge, skills, practices and values for another.

slumry commented on the word escamotage
Ooh, let's see deep under the frozen blueberries slumry stashes Eskimo Pies so that the other slumry does not know they are there. Would it be wrong? Would it be too much sleight of hand or trickery?
