Sat, 25 August 2007 History Without Borders: Settler Societies Recently, the Massachusetts School of Law hosted a two day forum of various speakers concentrating on discussing American history in the context of the world at large, with an emphasis not on nationalism, but on relationships. This installment, Settler Societies, presented by Dr. Carl Guarneri, discusses how the various societies like America evolved in the larger context of the world. A "settler society" as he defines it is one where colonization occurrs in a place already inhabited. The Western hemisphere is replete with various settler societies. Dr. Guarneri attempts to place our society in a larger context of other developing societies. The Massachusetts School of Law, located in Andover, Massachusetts, makes high quality, affordable legal education available to less privileged persons who are traditionally excluded from the legal profession.
