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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hugill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517904803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517904807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"David Hugill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045527154943,"sku":"9781517904807","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2391f11-b272-4864-8208-5a82160e4c83.jpg?v=1684979285","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/settler-colonial-city-david-hugill-9781517904807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
