This volume investigates the structural mechanisms and enduring consequences of settler colonialism during the twentieth century across diverse global contexts. Editors Caroline Elkins and Susan Pedersen assemble a collection of scholarly essays that examine how settler communities reshaped land ownership, legal frameworks, and racial hierarchies. By analyzing specific case studies ranging from Japanese expansion in East Asia to European projects in Africa and the Middle East, the authors argue that settler colonialism functioned as a distinct, totalizing force that persisted even after the formal dissolution of empires.
