Noting the grim racial realities still confronting communities of color, and how they have not been alleviated by constitutional guarantees of equal protection, this book suggests that settler colonial theory provides a more coherent understanding of what causes and what can help remediate racial disparities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNatsu Taylor Saito attributes the origins and persistence of racialized inequities in the United States to the prerogatives asserted by its predominantly Angloamerican colonizers to appropriate Indigenous lands and resources, to profit from the labor of voluntary and involuntary migrants, and to ensure that all people of color remain \"in their place.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy providing a functional analysis that links disparate forms of oppression, this book makes the case for the oft-cited proposition that racial justice is indivisible, focusing particularly on the importance of acknowledging and contesting the continued colonization of Indigenous peoples and lands. \u003ci\u003eSettler Colonialism, Race, and the Law\u003c\/i\u003e concludes that rather than relying on promises of formal equality, we will more effectively dismantle structural racism in America by envisioning what the right of all peoples to self-determination means in a settler colonial state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSaito, Natsu Taylor:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eNatsu Taylor Saito\u003c\/b\u003e is a Distinguished University Professor and Professor of Law at Georgia State University's College of Law in Atlanta.
