Abstract

Opening with the definitive (and ultimately central) assertion that “[cities] are places where Indigenous peoples have continually resisted and challenged the normalizations of settler colonial violence” (p. 1), Settler City Limits: Indigenous Resurgence and Colonial Violence in the Urban Prairie West is a well-woven collection of essays, each of which pulls at the frayed edges of colonial narratives that continually dress and address the “city” as a distinctly settler space.
