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.

Individual Indians as property-owners, and thus sought to eliminate them as Indians, the Indian Reorganization Act reconstituted tribes into structural conformity with White institutions – which is to say, it sought to eliminate them as Indian institutions. The Indian Reorganization Act was championed with a tribal-rights enthusiasm that was reminiscent of Marshall’s pro-Indian rhetoric. Moreover, the semblance of tribal consent that had been so important for treaty-making remained central to.
Purchase by other means.74 Moreover, the purchases were prerequisite to Zionism’s attainment of these other means: a disciplined population with a contained territorial base, and an adequately funded state apparatus, possessed of military resources and a functioning hierarchy of command. Without Zionism’s strategic coordination of human and capital imports, whereby a contiguous land base was secured and populated with Ashkenazi immigrants, none of these things would have been possible. When we.

White Australia was counterposed to an authentic Aboriginality that can be glossed as culturally traditional, genetically dark, spatially resident in the Outback (failing which, on reserves), and temporally discontinuous with the present. The formula is familiar and hardly requires rehearsal. Its various dimensions complemented each other interchangeably. A remedy for the genetic defect of mixed bloodedness was the spatial device of removal, while the failure to be culturally traditional –.
Constitute the principal means whereby the United States acquired its national territory. Treaties require and presuppose national sovereignty on the part of signatories. In terms of state-formation, therefore, it was Indian nations’ sovereignty that enabled their respective territories to be converted into so many parts of the United States. It follows that dispossession was consummated by Indian sovereignty – had Marshall not acknowledged that sovereignty, then the basis on which the United.
