Instead, \u003ci\u003eSettling the Boom\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how the unsettling forces of an oil play resolve through normative narratives and material and affective infrastructures that support settler colonialism’s violent extension and its gendered orders of time and space. Considering a wide range of evidence, from urban and regional policy, interviews with city officials, media, photography, and film, these essays analyze the ongoing material, aesthetic, and narrative ways of life and land in the Bakken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributors: Morgan Adamson, Macalester College; Kai Bosworth, Virginia Commonwealth U; Thomas S.
