Settler Colonialism

Klappentext At a time when the Chinese are being labeled the "new colonialists," this special issue of SAQ revisits the history of settler colonialism in such varied societies as the United States, South Africa, Eritrea, and Palestine/Israel. This issue examines similarities and differences among the diverse historical, geographical, and economic instances of settler colonialism, the practice of colonists moving permanently to a new settlement and, in some instances, growing to outnumber the indigenous inhabitants. Avoiding an oversimplified settler-native dichotomy, contributors engage current debates about the postcolonial to unsettle reductive chronologies of decolonization, addressing how formations of modern settler colonialism, both successful and failed projects (the Italians in Eritrea), compare with more general historical developments of colonial empire. Zusammenfassung Revisits the history of settler colonialism in such varied societies as the United States! South Africa! Eritrea! and Palestine/Israel. This work examines the similarities and differences among the diverse historical! geographical! and economic instances of settler colonialism! the practice of colonists moving permanently to a new settlement.
