Excerpt from the Martin Crevier Review of The Settler Colonial Present, by Lorenzo Veracini. Social History, Project MUSE: Settler colonial studies is an emerging distinct field of academic inquiry, replete with its own journal (Settler Colonial Studies) and interpretive lens. Drawing on this now wide-ranging literature, in The Settler Colonial Present, Lorenzo Veracini, who has been at the center of this development, aims to show that settler colonialism is a crucial feature of "the global present." His subsidiary objective is to offer pathways for strategies of decolonization. Four chapters structure the argument. Each seeks to situate and contextualize the global and current impact of settler colonialism by proposing a negative definition. As Veracini convincingly shows in the introduction, settler societies have been negatively defined, from inside and outside, against an abiding Indigenous presence or a distant but hovering metropole. As such, chapters argue that settler colonialism "is not colonialism" (chapter 1), that "it is not somewhere else" (chapter 3), and that "it is not finished" (chapter 4). Chapter 2 also frames itself in the negative by arguing that "settlers are not migrants." Books will be packaged with great care and ship via USPS Media Mail.
