The Settler Colonial Present explores the ways in which settler
colonialism as a specific mode of domination informs the global
present. It presents an argument regarding its extraordinary
resilience and diffusion and reflects on the need to imagine its
decolonisation.

Settler colonialism is a global and transnational phenomenon, and
as much a thing of the present as a thing of the past. In this
book, Lorenzo Veracini explores the settler colonial 'situation'
and explains how there is no such thing as neo-settler colonialism
or post-settler colonialism because settler colonialism is a
resilient formation that rarely ends. Not all migrants are
settlers: settlers come to stay, and are founders of political
orders who carry with them a distinct sovereign capacity. And
settler colonialism is not colonialism: settlers want Indigenous
people to vanish (but can make use of their labour before they are
made to disappear). Sometimes settler colonial forms operate within
colonial ones, sometimes they subvert them, sometimes they replace
them. But even if colonialism and settler colonialism
interpenetrate and overlap, they remain separate as they co-define
each other.
