Lorenzo Veracini

Summary

At the Swinburne Institute for Social Research, Melbourne (affiliation as printed, PDF p.2), whose 2013 article The Other Shift: Settler Colonial Studies and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict distinguishes settler colonialism, which succeeds only by extinguishing itself, from colonialism, which succeeds by reproducing itself, and argues post-1967 Israel/Palestine shifted from the first form toward the second (The Other Shift: Settler Colonial Studies and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, PDF p.2, p.6-7).

Byline affiliation as printed: Swinburne Institute for Social Research, Melbourne (PDF p.2 / printed p.1).
His earlier works are cited in the article as the source of its definitions: Israel and Settler Society (London, Pluto, 2006) in note 6; Settler Colonialism: A Theoretical Overview (Houndmills, Palgrave Macmillan, 2010) for the supersede/reproduce distinction (note 8), for settler colonialism as transfer and its taxonomy of transfers (note 10, especially pp. 33-52), and for indigenisation as a fundamental trait of settler colonial discursive orders (note 27, especially pp. 17-32); and ‘Introducing settler colonial studies’, settler colonial studies, 1, 1, 2011, pp. 1-12 (note 8).
Note 3 records the journal settler colonial studies as “a new scholarly journal dedicated to the comparative study of this specific colonial formation”, alongside his works cited below (PDF p.3 / printed p.2).
In the article he states his own position on the two forms plainly: while arguing for their theoretical distinction, he has no particular preference for one form over the other, as both are inherently unequal and unjust systems (PDF p.6 / printed p.5).
The 2012 special issue Past is present: Settler Colonialism in Palestine of settler colonial studies, 2, 1, is cited in note 6 as forthcoming (PDF p.5 / printed p.4).
