Hixson’s Parting the Curtain has sold nearly 4,000 copies in paperback alone, primarily via classroom adoptions. Last year it netted over 500 copies. (Typically it does around 100-200 annually)The book provides a broad historical narrative of US history, bringing together Indian removal, international conflicts, territorial expansion beyond the continent, and various other strands under a single interpretive umbrellaPalgrave Macmillan has published most of the major recent works on settler colonialism to date. However, there has been no sustained application of settler colonial historiography to US history, making this a first and a significant contribution to the literatureHixson’s study brings together segments of the profession that have mostly developed in isolation from one another, among them Native American history, diplomatic history, and (post-)colonial studiesJacques Lacan, Aime Cesaire, Frantz Fanon, and Homi Bhaba are but a few of the interdisciplinary thinkers whose work is fruitfully deployed here

Beschreibung

Over the course of three centuries, American settlers helped to create the richest, most powerful nation in human history, even as they killed and displaced millions. This groundbreaking work shows that American history is defined by settler colonialism, providing a compelling framework through which to understand its rise to global dominance.
