Environmentalism as settler colonialism: Paul J Guernsey, ‘Western Environmental Phenomenology as a Colonizing Practice: The Question of Land’, ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, 2020

10Dec20

Abstract: This essay fleshes out some of the ways in which Western environmental phenomenology enhances settler claims to Native lands and relatives while eliminating Native people. Although neglected in most phenomenological writing, which tends to prefer topics such as place, earth, the elements, etc., the entry point for this analysis is land. Settler colonialism has always been about the acquisition of land and its conversion into the property of settlers. Land is the site where colonization interacts as an existential or perceptual circuit with the “moral terrains” of the body.
