Indigenous communities and settler colonialism : land holding, loss and survival in an interconnected world
\"The new world created through Anglophone emigration in the nineteenth century has been much studied. But there have been few accounts of what this world meant for Indigenous communities facing invasion by those emigrants. While settlers in the British Empire and the USA have been seen as participants in newly globalized networks, the Indigenous peoples upon whose lands they settled tend to be seen as rooted, localized, and peripheral to the story of imperial and national expansion. This book weaves through trans-imperial, Indigenous, local and family histories, showing that Indigenous communities tenaciously held land in the midst of dispossession, whilst becoming interconnected through their struggles to do so. Moving between Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and the USA, it highlights the enduring associations between race, place and behavior in settler societies from Indigenous perspectives\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Routledge Companion to Decolonization
The particular strengths of Rothermund's Companion to Decolonization include coverage of all the European empires in the two decades after 1945-Portuguese, Dutch, French, British and Italian; the provision of opportunities for readers to compare French and British approaches to decolonization; and a series of brief, accessible essays on decolonization. Concepts such as the gold standard, Pan-Africanism and neo-colonialism are explained in a clear and accessible fashion, while decolonization is put into its twentieth-century world history context.
