Abstract: In the face of catastrophic climate change, scholars and activists have sought to fundamentally transform the existing food system in the United States. One solution being offered, repeasantization, seeks to reinvigorate the idea of the small farm accompanied by principles of ecological production. While invoking the term “peasant” promises something potentially new in the […]

Abstract: The recent proliferation of settler colonial and Indigenous studies of Palestine have addressed historical and present-day enclosure of Palestinian land, yet the question of ‘indigeneity’ is underexamined in this literature. Claims to indigeneity in Palestine straddle varied definitions: a racial category; as constructed through the colonial encounter or preceding colonialism; and as a local […]

Abstract: The infrastructuring of First Nations land into cities is a central project of settler colonisation. In the lands now known as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, settler-colonial myths of ‘uncultivated’ territory justified English invasion and settlement. These myths continue to inform contemporary infrastructure development and discourse which resist First Nations’ sovereignties […]

Abstract: This article argues that Alexis de Tocqueville’s political philosophy was shaped by his personal encounters with Native Americans. By unearthing his letters and posthumously published writings, this article reveals how these experiences helped him think through key theoretical concepts he used in Democracy in America, such as freedom, restlessness, and justice. This article advances the […]

Abstract: Indigenous Peoples are the original inhabitants of Canada and are made up of three distinct groups: First Nations, Métis and Inuit. About 40% of First Nations people with Registered or Treaty Indian status live on-reserve. Relative to the general Canadian population, First Nations living on-reserve are more likely to live in inadequate housing conditions […]

Abstract: The story of the Hula Valley in the Galilee region of Palestine-Israel serves as the focus of this article, which draws on the concepts “more-than-One Health” and “settler ecologies” to highlight the harmful ecological implications of settler colonial projects in this region and elsewhere. Specifically, I tell the story of the Zionist drying of […]

Abstract: Evidence suggests White settlers’ autochthony beliefs in historically colonized lands can both strengthen and weaken support for reparation measures. We propose that the divergent effect of autochthony beliefs on support for reparation measures is contingent on the perception of White settler ownership and preference for group-based hierarchies. In a single study with N = […]

Abstract: Australia’s colonial era is formally over. Yet the legacies of structural inequality, dispossession, exploitation and racism against Indigenous Australia remain alive and well. In 2021, Victoria established the Yoorrook Justice Commission, culminating in a formal truth-telling and treaty process. Seeking to address harm since colonization, the state process is unprecedented both nationally and abroad. […]

Excerpt: That the Anthropocene is the product of historical processes has at-tracted environmental historians to its analysis. It is a concept that speaks to the very project of the field, that is, to show that all human history is en-vironmental. Their early engagements with the concept (and its critiques) focused on the intellectual history of […]

Abstract: Surrogacy is a popular assisted reproductive practice in Israel, and it has been legal since 1996, albeit, until recently, only for married heterosexual couples. Same-sex couples who aspired to genetic parenthood were therefore “forced” to look for available surrogates abroad, in countries such as the United States, India, Nepal, Mexico, and Russia. This resulted […]
