Summary
Author of The Two Faces of American Freedom (Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press, 2010), cited by Lorenzo Veracini for the North American settlers’ incorporation of immigrating co-ethnics (The Other Shift: Settler Colonial Studies and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, PDF p.16, note 24 / printed p.15).
Details
- As Veracini presents Rana’s outline: the North American settler patriots fought for their specific rights as freeborn Englishmen and nobody else’s, even though immigrating co-ethnics were necessary and welcome and were for a long time seamlessly incorporated on arrival as settlers through alien voting legislation and access to land (PDF p.16 / printed p.15).
- Veracini uses the case inside his account of Elective Belonging: settler colonial formations are inherently premised on elective and/or selective forms of belonging (PDF p.17 / printed p.16).
