Settler colonialism is a structure not an event - woodcut

I am guessing we're all familiar with the idea of colonialism. Growing up in the UK I heard the word but there wasn't a bunch of detail in our education system. For a stretch when I was a kid I lived in Atlanta but it was never thematised that we were on colonised lands. Then as an adult I moved to #narrm, Australia for the first time and started to learn more about the realities of Settler Conialism from the perspective of those who this system tried to (and is still trying to) displace.

So - here are some excellent podcasts on the theme for those of you who may not have traveled to a land which is in this process.
