This book provides an account of British settler colonialism across the globe from 1530 to the present day.

Centering the impact of settler colonies on indigenous peoples whose land was taken and populations were disrupted, it traces resistance, revolution, migration, assimilation and elimination in North America, Latin America, South Africa, Kenya, Ireland, the Middle East and Australia.

Exploring the concept of settler colonialism, understanding how it differs from other aspects of imperialism and highlighting the importance of centering indigenous peoples in the study of empire, this book clarifies key theories, terms and debates within the field. Each chapter addresses issues of race, gender and the environment through a specific case study along with comparative 'counterpoint' examples of other settler colonies. It explores how indigenous peoples tried to preserve, recreate and reassert their cultures and values, and highlights the ongoing impact of settler colonialism and the domination of indigenous peoples and culture that continues to this day.

With maps, images, primary documents and suggested further reading British Settler Colonialism provides an introduction to empire and colonialism with a focus on indigenous peoples, cultures and histories.
