What is  Settler Colonialism?

Broadly speaking, colonialism can be seen as the subjugation, domination and exploitation of another people, their land and their resources.

Settler colonialism, meanwhile, is one type of colonialism. Under settler colonialism, the colonised population is not just subjugated: it is physically removed and then replaced by a settler population.

This physical removal can occur through displacement, forced expulsion, and/or actual extermination and genocide. In settler colonial contexts, the colonised population, or the Indigenous inhabitants, are seen as obstacles in the way of control of the land and its resources.
