Since Hamas's attack on Israel last October 7, the term "settler colonialism" has become central to public debate in the United States. A concept new to most Americans, but already established and influential in academic circles, settler colonialism is shaping the way many people think about the history of the United States, Israel and Palestine, and a host of political issues. This short book is the first to examine settler colonialism critically for a general readership. By critiquing the most important writers, texts, and ideas in the field, Adam Kirsch shows how the concept emerged in the context of North American and Australian history and how it is being applied to Israel. He examines the sources of its appeal, which, he argues, are spiritual as much as political; how it works to delegitimize nations; and why it has the potential to turn indignation at past injustices into a source of new injustices today. A compact and accessible introduction, rich with historical detail, the book will speak to readers interested in the Middle East, American history, and today's most urgent cultural-political debates.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6629311</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6629311</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kirsch, Adam, 1976-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6629311109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Ideology, Violence, and Justice</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781324105343/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not "a Nation of Immigrants"]]></title><description><![CDATA["The common assumption that the United States is a "nation of immigrants" camouflages the reality that the US is a colonialist settler state"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6211872</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6211872</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dunbar-Ortiz, Roxanne, 1938-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6211872109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Settler Colonialism, White Supremacy, and A History of Erasure and Exclusion</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780807036303/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not "A Nation of Immigrants"]]></title><description><![CDATA[Debunks the pervasive and self-congratulatory myth that our country is proudly founded by and for immigrants, and urges readers to embrace a more complex and honest history of the United States.

If videogames overwhelmingly represent landscapes as spaces to be conquered by players' movement through them, Jodi A. Byrd contends that Indigenous sovereignty and ways of being grounded to the land function as structuring absences within these games. Indigenous and Black subjects are treated as subjects from an uncanny past that disrupt the forward movement of the present within settler science fiction and horror. While much videogame scholarship has been split between focusing on narrative on one hand and the technical structure of games on the other, Byrd argues that these two aspects are perpetually enmeshed, re-encoding digital difference even as they offer players the opportunity to play as Indigenous or Black characters. Examining games like Red Dead Redemption, Assassin Creed, Dark Souls, What Remains of Edith Finch alongside novels by Mark Z. Danielewski and Ursula K. Le Guin, Byrd reveals how structures of settler colonial governance persist even in the space between representation and play"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6835243</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6835243</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Byrd, Jodi A]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6835243109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>American Indians, Video Games, and the Structures of Dispossession</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781478032649/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dream of Manifest Destiny]]></title><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5399430</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5399430</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Christopher, Nick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5399430109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Immigrants and the Westward Expansion</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781508140719/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Manifest Destiny & the New Nation (1803-1859)]]></title><description><![CDATA[This collection provides historical documents related to the expansion of the United States in the first half of the 19th century, including historical journals, letters, speeches, government legislation, and court opinions.
