Summary

The chapters in this section of the volume mainly represent major English-speaking former British colonies. One essay also includes regions in the Pacific Ocean, but there is less discussion about countries in this region because less has been written about them. This essay will primarily compare and contrast the major former British colonies but it will also mention potential future areas of research in the Pacific Ocean region. The former British colonies of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States share a common identity as settler societies, and although in the early twenty-first century, they are very diverse, traditionally they were all largely dominated by Protestant, Anglo-Saxon elites.
