David Hugill is assistant professor of geography and environmental studies at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. He is coeditor of Settler City Limits: Indigenous Resurgence and Colonial Violence in the Urban Prairie West.

"David Hugill's study of one American city illustrates in no uncertain terms the ways in which racial and other hierarchies of settler colonialism are literally built into the urban landscape. Deeply researched and powerfully articulate in its framing of Minneapolis's past and present, Settler Colonial City is a profoundly important work, contributing to the burgeoning literature on settler colonialism in North America and providing a model for scholarship on and in other places."-Coll Thrush, author of Native Seattle: Histories from the Crossing-Over Place"This timely study elucidates how Minneapolis, as a settler colonial city built on Indigenous dispossession, continues to produce structural inequity through a racialized economy of power. David Hugill argues forcefully that the ongoing operations of settler colonial violence shapes postwar Minneapolis, including through a legacy of racist policing and entrenched racial disparities rooted in the history of wealth transfer through settler colonialism that defy the city’s liberal reputation."-Jean M. O'Brien, University of Minnesota "A rigorously researched and well-supported empirical contribution to the examination of settler colonialism and its contemporary continuities."-Journal of the American Planning Association"There is much for all of us to learn from these stories. It is a credit to our community for our history to be told even [if] some of it is hard to think about."-The Alley Newspaper"David Hugill’s historical geography of Minneapolis, analyzed through the lens of settler colonialism, deftly intervenes into major conversations of its time and place, including urban indigenous experiences and racialized policing ... Hugill interweaves time, place, and politics in unexpected and illuminating ways."-Historical Geography"Settler Colonial City is a quick and worthwhile read...Using a settler colonial lens in a postwar urban environment is novel, but the true strength of Settler Colonial City is the elucidation of the Minneapolis experience of the intersections between urban planning and racial discrimination."-Journal of American History"Settler Colonial City is a highly accessible book with a broad sweep that shifts geographic scales from the most localized neighborhood level out to the (perhaps unexpected) global frame of American capitalism and military power. In one substantive introduction and four subsequent chapters, it offers the reader a concise journey."-Indiana Magazine of History"This book should be necessary reading in Native American studies and critical ethnic studies. It is a deep, US-based case study, but is also instructive for scholars wishing to examine Indigenous peoples living in industrialized nations in large cities with legacies of settler colonialism."-American Indian Culture and Research Journal
