Summary
This title considers how writings by several canonical mid 19th century authors that are not 'about' Indians still participate in processes of settler colonialism. More than focusing on the ways Native peoples are treated and imagined by non-natives, the book illustrates how the legal concepts, practices, and geographies developed in claiming Native lands and displacing Native peoples live on in the everyday lives of non-natives even when political struggles with Native peoples seem to be of the past.
