Description: Unsettling Settler Societies by Daiva K. Stasiulis, Nira Yuval-Davis Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This text looks at the relations between indigenous and settler/immigrant populations. It highlights the experiences of ten diverse societies and examines how the internal dynamics of settler societies reflect their positions within a global economy. Publisher Description Settler societies are those in which European migrants have become politically dominant over indigenous peoples and a heterogeneous social structure has developed. They offer a unique prism for understanding the complex relations of gender, race, ethnicity and class in contemporary societies. Bringing together a distinguished cast of contributors, this book looks at the relation between indigenous and settler/immigrant populations. The text highlights the experiences of ten diverse societies (the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Algeria and Israel) and examines how the internal dynamics of settler societies reflect their positions within a global economy. The ways in which the complex forces of gender, race, ethnicity and class combine are explored in relation to key issues including state-building processes and ideologies, economic life and oppositional social movements. The contributors understand settler societies in terms of the interdependent histories of indigenous and migrant peoples.Taking into account the gendered character of these histories, they go on to analyse the shifting social and political position of women within such societies. In its critical examination of settler societies and its exploration of the conflicts that characterise them, unsettling Settler Societies will be an invaluable text for students of race and ethnic relations, womens and gender studies and social and political theory. Author Biography Daiva Stasiulis and co-author Abigail Bakan were awarded the Canadian Womens Studies Association annual book prize for Negotiating Citizenship: Migrant Women in Canada and the Global System (London: Palgrave, 2003; University of Toronto, 2005).

Daiva Stasiulis was born in Toronto and educated at the University of California at San Diego (Hon.BA and MA) and University of Toronto (PhD). She has published extensively on citizenship, race and migration, feminism and diversity.

She is a recipient of the Wilson Head Research Award for her book (with A. Bakan), Negotiating Citizenship: Migrant Women in Canada and the Global System (which also won Porter Book Prize Honourable Mention). Professor Stasiuliss most recent SSHRC-funded research project is on "Border Crossings and Multiple Citizenship", a comparative theoretical and empirical investigation of the growing incidence and significance of multiple citizenship in several states. This research seeks to shed light on the phenomenon of plural citizenship by exploring how individuals and families, from the global South and North, strategize to improve their individual and collective conditions by acquiring multiple citizenships. It also examines the consequences of multiple formal status on the life-worlds, geo-spatial mobility, class positions, rights, affiliations and identities of plural nationals and for the reconfiguration of national and transnational forms of citizenship. Daiva Stasiulis supervises Ph.D. and M.A. graduate students, chiefly in the areas of citizenship, race/ethnic studies, migration studies, feminist studies, sexuality, and the sociology of childhood. She regularly teaches graduate seminars on Citizenship and Globalization and The Politics of Social Movements and the State. At the undergraduate level, she has developed a course on the Sociology of Childhood. Daiva Stasiulis is Associate Editor of the International Journal of Canadian Studies; she is the Chair of the North American Committee of Citizenship Studies; and is on the editorial board of The Canadian Journal of Sociology and an editorial consultant for Feminist Studies. She is a 1997 recipient of a Research Achievement Award from Carleton University, and the 2003 Indo-Canadian Shastri lecturer in Canadian Studies in India. She has been a consultant to the federal government on issues of racism, migration, ethnocultural political participation, multiculturalism, and gender and equity analysis of immigration policy. A member of Carletons faculty since 1983, Daiva Stasiulis has also been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Canberra and at the University of California at Berkeley. Nira Yuval-Davis is Director of the Research Centre on Migration, Refugees and Belonging (CMRB) at The University of East London.
