Opis

Settler colonial studies emerged in the last two decades as a subfield of comparative scholarly research. The Settler Colonial Present explores the ways in which settler colonialism as a mode of domination survived the age of decolonisation and reflects on the ways in which settler colonial studies can help making sense of the current dispensation. Rather than a thing of the past, or something affecting remote semi-peripheries, settler colonialism emerges as a crucial feature of the global present.

Recenzje

"Veracini possesses a profound historiographical awareness. The Settler Colonial Present offers a useful and impressive synthesis of settler colonial literature from which students and scholars wanting to deepen their understanding of the field may easily draw. The author's ambitious agenda should be commended, as ... the book is a stimulating testament to the yet uncapped potential of a growing field." (Martin Crevier, Social History, Vol. 53 (109), November, 2020)
