HIST 9.08 Settler Colonialism: Theory, History, Present

“Settler Colonialism” is a term coined by scholars to describe a particular form of colonial expansion driven by mass settler migration and predicated upon the elimination and assimilation, rather than the subjugation, of Indigenous peoples. This course is designed to introduce you to the scholarly theory of “settler colonialism” and its critics, and then to consider its applicability to particular historical case studies and the contemporary societies that those cases have birthed.
