Abstract: My mother once told me that if you speak about Wendigos out loud, they will come. They are cannibals, flesh eaters, spirit eaters. Wendigos survive by consuming the life of others without reciprocity, care, consent, or regard in the name of personal gain or profit. Growing up, I was taught that the Wendigo condition […]

Abstract: A key feature of the confluence of modern nation-state formation and colonization has been the marginalization and denigration of minoritized language varieties, particularly Indigenous languages, over time. Indigenous languages have been actively proscribed in public language domains, such as education, leading to their inevitable shift and loss, in settler-colonial contexts worldwide. This process of […]

Excerpt: The Soviet Union is often described as an empire with heavily centralized rule over a large multiethnic territory, which suppressed anti-imperial resistance (Kappeler, 2001). Yet many scholars view the Soviet Union as more similar to a multinational state that stopped discriminating between the former colonizers and the colonized (Khalid, 2021). But as we will […]

Abstract: The California mission system linked Spanish Catholic and political institutions. To secure land and convert Indigenous peoples, the Spanish built 21 missions from San Diego to Sonoma in the 18th and 19th centuries. These missions were sites of disease, violence, and mass death. They were also places built by Native people, on Native lands, […]

Excerpt: In 1823, towards the end of Latin America’s independence wars, U.S. President James Monroe famously told Europe to stop messing around in the Americas. No new colonies, he warned, and no political meddling. The “political system” of monarchical Europe, he explained, was “essentially different” from that of the increasingly republican Americas; Europeans should mind […]

Abstract: This article is part of the collaborative research project Populist Publics. Housed at Carleton University (www.carleton.ca/populistpublics), it applies a data-driven analysis of online hate networks to trace how false framings of the historical past, what we call historical misinformation, circulates across platforms, shaping the politics of the center alongside the fringes. We cull large […]
