About this book

The Settler Colonial Present explores the ways in which settler colonialism as a specific mode of domination informs the global present. It presents an argument regarding its extraordinary resilience and diffusion and reflects on the need to imagine its decolonisation.

Reviews

“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)
