The Routledge Handbook of the History of Settler Colonialism (Routledge History Handbooks)

<p><em>The Routledge Handbook of the History of Settler Colonialism</em> examines the global history of settler colonialism as a distinct mode of domination from ancient times to the present day. It explores the ways in which new polities were established in freshly discovered ‘New Worlds’, and covers the history of many countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Japan, South Africa, Liberia, Algeria, Canada, and the USA.</p><p>Chronologically as well as geographically wide-reaching, this volume focuses on an extensive array of topics and regions ranging from settler colonialism in the Neo-Assyrian and Roman empires, to relationships between indigenes and newcomers in New Spain and the early Mexican republic, to the settler-dominated polities of Africa during the twentieth century. Its twenty-nine inter-disciplinary chapters focus on single colonies or on regional developments that straddle the borders of present-day states, on successful settlements that would go on to become powerful settler nations, on failed settler colonies, and on the historiographies of these experiences.</p><p>Taking a fundamentally international approach to the topic, this book analyses the varied experiences of settler colonialism in countries around the world. With a synthesizing yet original introduction, this is a landmark contribution to the emerging field of settler colonial studies and will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the global history of imperialism and colonialism.</p> <p><em>Acknowledgements</em></p><p><em>List of contributors</em></p><p>Introduction: settler colonialism as a distinct mode of domination</p><p>PART I</p><p>Settler colonialism in the ‘Old World</p><p>Introduction to Part I</p><p>1 – Settler colonialism from the Neo-Assyrians to the Romans</p><p>2 – Settler colonialism in ancient Israel</p><p>3 – Mediterranean and Atlantic settler colonialism from the late fourteenth to the early seventeenth centuries</p><p>4 - Settler colonialism in Ireland from the English conquest to the nineteenth century</p><p>5 - Northern Ireland and settler colonialism to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998</p><p>PART II</p><p>The Americas</p><p>Introduction to Part II</p><p>6 - Colonies of settlement and settler colonialism in Northeastern North America, 1450-1850</p><p>7 – Atlantic North America from contact to the late nineteenth century</p><p>8 - Settler colonialism in New Spain and the early Mexican republic</p><p>9 - Northwestern North America (Canadian West) to 1900</p><p>10 - Settler colonialism in postcolonial Latin America</p><p>11 - Settler colonialism and the consolidation of Canada in the twentieth century</p><p>12 - Adaptation, resistance, and representation in the modern US settler state</p><p>PART III</p><p>Africa</p><p>Introduction to Part III</p><p>13 - Settler colonialism in South Africa, 1652–1899</p><p>14 - French Algeria, 1830-1962</p><p>15 - Americo Liberia as a settler society</p><p>16 - Settler colonialism in Kenya, 1880-1950</p><p>17 - Settler rule in Southern Rhodesia, 1890-1979</p><p>18 - The Italian fascist settler empire in Ethiopia, 1936-1941</p><p>19 - White settler politics and Euro-African nationalism in Angola, 1945-1975</p><p>20 - Settler colonialism in South Africa: land, labour, and transformation, 1880-2015</p><p>PART IV </p><p>Asia</p><p>Introduction to Part IV</p><p>21 – Russian settler colonialism</p><p>22 – Settler colonialism in the making of Japan’s Hokkaidō</p><p>23 - Theorizing Zionist settler colonialism in Palestine</p><p>24 - A dying settler colonialism: Israel and the Palestinians after 1948</p><p>PART V</p><p>Australasia</p><p>Introduction to Part V</p><p>25 - Australian settler colonialism over the long nineteenth century: new insights into history, gender and biopolitics</p><p>26 - Settler colonialism in New Zealand, 1840-1907</p><p>27 - Settler colonialism in New Caledonia, 1853 to the present</p><p>28 - Settler Australia in the twentieth century</p><p>29 - Settler colonialism in twentieth-century New Zealand</p><p>Index</p>
