- Summary:
- "Archiving Settler Colonialism: Culture, Race, and Space brings together 15 essays from across the globe, to capture a moment in settler colonial studies that turns increasingly towards new cultural archives for settler colonial research. Essays on hitherto under-examined materials--including postage stamps, musical scores, urban parks, and psychiatric records--reflect on how cultural texts archive moments of settler self-fashioning. Archiving Settler Colonialism also expands settler colonial studies' reach as an international academic discipline, bringing together scholarly research about the British breakaway settler colonies with underanalyzed non-white, non-Anglophone settler societies. The essays together illustrate settler colonial cultures as--for all their similarities--ultimately divergent constructions, locally situated and produced of specific power relations within the messy operations of imperial domination"-- Provided by publisher.
