“Veracini possesses a profound historiographical awareness. The Settler Colonial Present offers a useful and impressive synthesis of settler colonial literature from which students and scholars wanting to deepen their understanding of the field may easily draw. The author’s ambitious agenda should be commended, as … the book is a stimulating testament to the yet uncapped potential of a growing field.” (Martin Crevier, Social History, Vol. 53 (109), November, 2020)
