In \u003ci\u003eSettler Colonial City\u003c\/i\u003e, David Hugill confronts this culture of organized forgetting by arguing that Minnesota’s largest city is enduringly bound up with the power dynamics of settler-colonial politics. Examining several distinct Minneapolis sites, \u003ci\u003eSettler Colonial City\u003c\/i\u003e tracks how settler-colonial relations were articulated alongside substantial growth in the Twin Cities Indigenous community during the second half of the twentieth century-creating new geographies of racialized advantage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudying the Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis in the decades that followed the Second World War, \u003ci\u003eSettler Colonial City\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how colonial practices and mentalities shaped processes of urban reorganization, animated non-Indigenous “advocacy research,” informed a culture of racialized policing, and intertwined with a broader culture of American imperialism. It reveals how the actions, assumptions, and practices of non-Indigenous people in Minneapolis produced and enforced a racialized economy of power that directly contradicts the city’s “progressive” reputation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately,\u003ci\u003e Settler Colonial City\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the hierarchical and racist political dynamics that characterized the city’s prosperous beginnings are not exclusive to a bygone era but rather are central to a recalibrated settler-colonial politics that continues to shape contemporary cities across the United States.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54218148217176,"sku":"9781517904807","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781517904807_48f03e8e-144d-4e66-93b2-f2610fb2ed04.jpg?v=1779417947","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/settler-colonial-city-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
