The intricacies of “settling” the land – mixing the soil with the labor of people’s hands (according to John Locke) – has received relatively little attention in settler colonial studies. This talk reflects on the history of American agricultural colonialism and its literary representation, on the micropolitics of “taking” and changing the land, of saving soils and seeds from the grip of “national sacrifice.” Examples will be taken from diverse writers such as James Fenimore Cooper, Leslie Marmon Silko, Linda Hogan, Diane Wilson, and Ruth Ozeki.
