Produktbeschreibung

"Settler Colonialism in the Twentieth Century is a powerful and thought-provoking volume of original essays that examine how settler communities have shaped landholding policies, laws, and race relations within colonized territories throughout the world. Historians of Japan, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East offer a compelling new interpretation of twentieth-century imperialism and establish an analytical framework for understanding the impact of settler communities in a variety of contexts. Case studies include the European settler projects in Africa, expansionist efforts by the by Japanese in Korea and Manchuria, Nazi attempts to settle ethnic Germans in Poland, and contested settlements in Israel and Palestine.

---

Postcolonial states and metropolitan societies still grapple today with the divisive and difficult legacies unleashed by settler colonialism. Whether they were settled for trade or geopolitical reasons, these settler communities had in common their shaping of landholding, laws, and race relations in colonies throughout the world. By looking at the detail of settlements in the twentieth century--from European colonial projects in Africa and expansionist efforts by the Japanese in Korea and Manchuria, to the Germans in Poland and the historical trajectories of Israel/Palestine and South Africa--and analyzing the dynamics set in motion by these settlers, the contributors to this volume establish points of comparison to offer a new framework for understanding the character and fate of twentieth-century empires.
