The book is a welcome addition to the recent work of scholars such
as Andrea Smith, Patrick Wolfe, Sherene Razack and Sunera Thobani,
who have drawn fundamental connections between the structural
elimination of Native peoples and the racialization of (and
violence against) non-Native minority groups in settler colonial
states.
