Summary

Following the end of the British Empire and Great Britain's orientation toward Europe, the concepts of order which had been characterized by settler colonialism were outdated. Sebastian Koch studies the cultural coping strategies which became necessary in the former 'white' settler colonies in Canada, Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand due to the threat to their British-oriented collective identity.
