Settler colonialism - from Columbus to Gaza w/ Sai Englert

Israel's assault on Gaza has led to a huge upsurge in discussion of
settler colonialism and the extent to which the term accurately
describes the Zionist project in Palestine. In Settler Colonialism:
An Introduction, Sai Englert provides an authoritative overview of
the history of settler colonialism and resistance to it, from the
South African anti-Apartheid struggle to campaigns against pipeline
construction in North America. In the interview we discuss the
history of settler colonialism, from the British colonies in North
America to the Portuguese Empire in Brazil, and from Apartheid
South Africa to the French settler state in Algeria. We talked
about the economic logics that made genocidal campaigns against
indigenous societies possible in some contexts, but not in others,
and about the surprisingly complex process of racialisation that
enabled the plunder of indigenous resources and labour. Finally, we
discussed why Israel, contrary to the claims of liberal apologists,
belongs firmly in the settler colonial tradition.
