Unsettling Settler Societies

Articulations of Gender, Race, Ethnicity and Class

`....Unsettling Settler Societies: Articulations of Gender, Race, Ethnicity and Class, meets the needs of both authors and readers who look for more flexible frameworks of analysis and consider that dualistic terms like `race' vs class, state vs individual or centre vs periphery are too simple.... An unusually wide range of issues... are connected and juggled with and skilfully kept together.... Unsettling Settler Societies is of high quality. Being rather broad in scope and time, the volume invites other scholars to build upon the efforts of the various contributors to integrate qualitative and quantitative methods. Without doubt the wealth of references will stimulate ideas.' Development and Change

'Due to lack of space, I cannot report the ten case studies, but the potential reader should know that they are all excellent and definitely worth reading.... the book is an important supplement to current debates on the intertwining of "race", class, gender and ethnicity. It gives the reader a clue why the decolonization process is such a long-lasting, contradictory and painful development - in some cases even a "mission impossible".... this book has opened the road for a new discussion and I am looking forward to its follow-up' - The European Journal of Women's Studies
