Lorenzo Veracini

Lorenzo Veracini is a historian and professor at Swinburne University of Technology’s Institute for Social Research.

Veracini was born and grew up in Pisa. He is the editor in chief of Settler Colonial Studies and has been a key figure in the development of the field of settler colonialism. His 2010 book Settler Colonialism: A Theoretical Overview was described as "comprehensive though succinct" and "probably the best justification of the imperative to view settler colonialism as significantly different from traditional or classical colonialism".
