This summer, Jennifer Evans, Swen Steinberg, David Yuzva Clement and Danielle Carron published “Settler Colonialism, Illiberal Memory, and German-Canadian Hate Networks in the Twentieth and Twenty-first Centures” in Central European History. In it they analyzed the appeal of Canada to German fascist groups, Holocaust deniers, far-right groups and conspiracy theorists. Using historical methodologies to better understand how homegrown racism mixed with settler colonial structures helped buttress local and expat hate initiatives, they show the importance of an historical lens to our analysis of contemporary problems.
