I've read it and it makes some good points.
One thing it didn't say though was that one of the main reasons colonial governments were accepted was that they were not connected to the pre-exsisting tribes and thus did not share the lengthy history of tit-for-tat behavior that the indigs had been engaging in for decades or even centuries.
The colonials didn't care. They would shoot them all equally or hire them all equally. Didn't matter. So the colonial government was trusted to be above such things and that went a long way to empowering good governance.
