San Diego State University Settler Colonialism & Elimination of The Native Article Summary

 

I’m working on a humanities writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

For this assignment you will be summarizing the scholarly article by Patrick Wolfe (2006), Settler colonialism and the elimination of the native. (The article is available on the class’s Canvas shell under the pages tab.)

Think of this summary as a short scholarly paper. While I do want to see your original thoughts, your opinion alone is not enough to satisfy the expectations for this assignment.

Your summary must be a minimum of 500 words, typed, double-spaced in Times New Roman 12 point font. (Please note: 500 words is the minimum. You will not be penalized for going over the word count).

A strong paper will be well organized with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. A paper that receives full points will:

  • Succinctly and efficiently summarize the main points of the article
  • Use proper APA citations
  • Explain clearly what you found interesting and why
  • Explain clearly what you found confusing and why
  • Articulate how the article helped you understand American Indian issues
  • Conclude with two discussion questions
