Excerpt: Due in part to the rise of settler colonial studies as a field, theoretical and empirical understanding of the dynamics of capitalism incorporates racial capitalism, defined as a totalising, global historical process that has forged (and continues to shape) political, social and institutional relations. Together the four histories here under review demonstrate how far thinking on connections between settler colonialism and capitalism has now progressed. These four books reveal developments in historical capitalism as the Anglophone settler-colonial world was established. The imperialist violence that Lenin perceived are shown to be connected to the logics of settler colonialism, which has in turn become embodied in the global financialised and technologised economy. These new works show the importance of the history of capitalism broadly and of racial capitalism, in particular, to the field of settler colonial studies.
