Settler Colonialism as a Structure?
This collection of papers originates from a June 2024 workshop at the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (KNIR) as part of the Settler Colonial Paradigms research program. Scholars from the Research Centre for Historical Studies at University of Groningen, explore settler colonialism across different time periods, from the ancient Mediterranean to future visions of Mars colonization, analysing its core characteristics and lasting impact. The contributors examine overlooked perspectives and raise important questions: What defines settler colonialism across time and space? How does it differ from other colonial forms? And how can this concept enhance our understanding of contemporary global dynamics? To foster further dialogue and advance the discourse, external experts in the field have been invited to provide responses.
