Unsettling Settler Societies Vol. 11

Settler societies are those in which European migrants have become politically dominant over indigenous peoples and a heterogeneous social structure has developed. They offer a unique prism for understanding the complex relations of gender, race, ethnicity and class in contemporary societies. Bringing together a distinguished cast of contributors, this book looks at the relation between indigenous and settler/immigrant populations. The text highlights the experiences of 10 diverse societies (the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Algeria and Israel) and examines how the internal dynamics of settler societies reflect their positions within a global economy. In its critical examination of settler societies and its exploration of the conflicts that characterize them, Unsettling Settler Societies will be an invaluable text for students of race and ethnic relations, women's and gender studies and social and political theory.
