Oxford Bibliographies
<b>Praise for Settler Colonialism: A Theoretical Overview</b><br /><br />Crisply theorized.
- Zoë Laidlaw, The Historical Journal
<i>Praise for How to Accept German Reparations:</i><br /><br /><br /> An idiosyncratic, far-ranging, well written book. This is several thoughtful books in one.
- Lora Wildenthal, German History
<i>Praise for How to Accept German Reparations:</i><br /><br />This remarkable book is a deeply anthropological study of a problem that reaches back into the author's own familial past and connects it with an astonishing but entirely persuasive array of themes, including agency, victimhood, nationalism, racism, and religion. Slyomovics's measured, graceful prose undoes the false simplicities of attributing right and wrong-locating the book securely at the heart of what social anthropology is all about.
- Michael Herzfeld, Harvard University,
Praise for <b><i>The Performance of Human Rights in Morocco:</i></b><br /><br />An important contribution to scholarship on an area of the world that receives relatively little attention as well as an important contribution to what is fast becoming a fifth subfield for anthropology: legal anthropology.

Patrick Wolfe reached into the dark heart of settler colonialism and provided us with a world changing theory, grammar, and politics with which to respond to the ongoing subjugation of colonised peoples. These essays enact the profound legacies of a singular intellectual-activist and demonstrate the enduring power of his analysis
- Melinda Hinkson, Director, Institute of Postcolonial Studies and Associate Professor of Anthropology, Deakin University,
Setter colonial studies is impossible to imagine without the concepts that Patrick Wolfe developed over decades of thinking about Indigenous dispossession and racialization. Because colonialism is not 'post' in settler societies, the task of theorizing their modalities of domination and erasure remains a pressing task. <i>Race, Place, Trace </i>is a fitting tribute to, and continuation of, his singular legacy.
- A. Dirk Moses, author of <i>The Problems of Genocide</i>,
Patrick Wolfe would have loved this book. I could imagine him wanting to participate in the arguments that are offered throughout its pages, for all the chapters are infused with the same scholarly rigour and critical passion that characterised his own work.
- Ghassan Hage, Anthropology, University of Melbourne,
