Traces of history - Patrick Wolfe

Traces of History presents a new approach to race and to
comparative colonial studies. Bringing a historical perspective to bear
on the regimes of race that colonizers have sought to impose on
Aboriginal people in Australia, on Blacks and Native Americans in the
United States, on Ashkenazi Jews in Western Europe, on Arab Jews in
Israel/Palestine, and on people of African descent in Brazil, this book
shows how race marks and reproduces the different relationships of
inequality into which Europeans have coopted subaltern populations:
territorial dispossession, enslavement, confinement, assimilation, and
removal.

Charting the different modes of domination that engender
specific regimes of race and the strategies of anti-colonial resistance
they entail, the book powerfully argues for cross-racial solidarities
that respect these historical differences.
