As a field of research, settler colonial studies has developed
dynamically in recent years. This volume contributes a set of
much-needed empirical analyses of the microhistory and practices of
settler colonialism. Incorporating six case studies from across the
Anglo-world, including the United States, Australia, and South
Africa, this book examines the roles different actors played in
this process, their individual experiences, and the social and
physical (re-)organization of settler colonial space. They
reconstruct the complexities of settler responses to Indigenous
resistance, guided by fear or religious convictions; and explore
the settlers' potential to manoeuvre on higher political levels,
legitimizing frontier violence as a patriotic duty to the common
good. In addition, they examine the production and circulation of
knowledge about land, and discuss the ways in which
socio-ecological systems were manipulated by stock farmers whose
success depended upon an effective integration into a world-wide
economic system. Overall, the volume presents a unique combination
of microhistorical analysis and environmental history. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Settler Colonial
Studies.
