The Settler Sea: California and the Consequences of Colonialism is an environmental history by Traci Brynne Voyles, published by the University of Nebraska Press in the Many Wests series. The book examines the Salton Sea not simply as a failed lake, polluted water body, or regional planning problem, but as a landscape produced through settler colonialism, dispossession, racial capitalism, and state managed environmental change. Voyles connects the history of the sea to Indigenous homelands, irrigation schemes, agricultural development, labor exploitation, wildlife management, military activity, tourism, and toxic exposure. Her purpose is to show that the ecological crisis surrounding the Salton Sea cannot be understood apart from the political systems that made the desert available for settler profit while marginalizing Indigenous nations and communities of color. The book is both a regional history of southern California and a broader argument about how colonial land and water regimes continue to shape environmental injustice in the American West.
