Abstract: This chapter constitutes a sustained effort to interconnect seemingly disparate projects of critical social theory. More precisely, it seeks to substantiate the hypothesis that Herbert Marcuse’s critical theory and Glen Sean Coulthard’s critical Indigenous framework might be reciprocally coordinated to generate a comprehensive critical analysis of domination and colonial domination within the historical specificity of the settler-colonial state that is Canada.
