Settler Societies

Settler societies were historically formed from the colonization of territories and peoples by empires, predominantly but not exclusively European, whose migrants had intentions to settle and build self‐sustaining states and subsequent distinct nations. The descendants of these settlers have generally remained politically dominant over indigenous populations and other immigrant ethnic minorities, although various political strategies and modes of exclusion and inclusion have developed within increasingly diverse racial, ethnic, and class‐divided societies. These circumstances have generated ongoing debate about whether such states should be considered decolonized, post‐settler societies or postcolonial situations reflecting enduring settler domination.
