Self determination and its settler-colonial ends: Joseph Massad, ‘Against Self-Determination’, Humanity, 2018, pp. 161-191

03Oct18

Excerpt: Settler-colonists would only accede to a recognition that the indigenous peoples whose lands they usurped are nations on condition that self-determination not only would not lead to the declared goals of “independence” and “liberation” from settler-colonialism, but would effectively obstruct any path towards those goals. This can be observed in settler-colonies around the globe.
