Description

As a field of research, settler colonial studies has developed dynamically in recent years.

This volume contributes a set of much-needed empirical analyses of the microhistory and practices of settler colonialism.

Incorporating six case studies from across the Anglo-world, including the United States, Australia, and South Africa, this book examines the roles different actors played in this process, their individual experiences, and the social and physical (re-)organization of settler colonial space.

They reconstruct the complexities of settler responses to Indigenous resistance, guided by fear or religious convictions; and explore the settlers’ potential to manoeuvre on higher political levels, legitimizing frontier violence as a patriotic duty to the common good.

In addition, they examine the production and circulation of knowledge about land, and discuss the ways in which socio-ecological systems were manipulated by stock farmers whose success depended upon an effective integration into a world-wide economic system.

Overall, the volume presents a unique combination of microhistorical analysis and environmental history.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Settler Colonial Studies.
