The sexual politics of settler colonial genocide: Ana Laura Velasco Ugalde, ‘Gender, Sexuality and Genocide in KanataGénero, sexualidad y genocidio en Kanata’, CONfines, 17, 32, 2021, pp. 93-112

Abstract: The main argument of this article is that the attacks on the gender and sexuality structures of Indigenous populations can be a form of settler colonial genocide. By highlighting gender’s cultural embeddedness, historicity, and relation to colonization, I provide evidence of the potential of challenging the assumptions around the term. By destabilizing gender and sexuality hierarchies, I argue that the current dominant ideas surrounding genocide fail to recognize the experience of Indigenous peoples in colonial Canada. To make this case, the article relies on the evidence gathered in the report of the Canadian National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
