Synopsis

This book examines the enduring and challenging legacies of settler colonialism, which continue to impact postcolonial states and metropolitan societies today. It explores how settler communities, established for various reasons, shaped landholding, laws, and race relations across the globe. The book delves into specific twentieth-century settlements, including European colonial projects in Africa, Japanese expansion in Korea and Manchuria, German settlements in Poland, and the historical trajectories of Israel/Palestine and South Africa.
