Call for Papers for edited collection on ‘Indigeneity and the British World: Settler Colonialism, Resistance, and Self-Determination’

This collection will have a broad historical and thematic focus. Chapters that look at more than one country are particularly welcomed. Potential themes include settler colonialism, violence, dispossession, resistance, exclusion, the Stolen Generations, land rights, citizenship, and self-determination. The collection is anticipated to be published in the ‘Studies in Transnationalism’ book series with Peter Lang Publishing (subject to a successful peer review) under the auspices of the Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand Studies Network. In terms of practicalities, chapters should be 7,500 words, including endnotes and a short bibliography, and formatted according to the Chicago Reference Style.
