Excerpt: Indigenous historians engage with and understand resilience through both an interdisciplinary lens and specific community attitudes toward the concept. Scholars of developmental psychology, psychiatry, social work, and education have drawn on resilience to analyze how Indigenous peoples have dealt with the trauma of colonialism, especially settler colonialism, while maintaining distinct beliefs, practices, and identities. […]

Abstract: This article seeks to explain the growth of identification and support for the Palestinian cause over the last decades from a regional concern to a global movement. What are the mechanisms that made this possible? This problematic is addressed within a cultural sociological framework, focusing on the cultural work of intellectuals and the collective […]

Excerpt: By the 1920s, few places on Earth remained hidden to Western eyes. Yet huge swaths of the Amazonian rainforests in South America continued to challenge Western mapping. Cast as “blank spaces” on European maps and also in the cartography of the nations that contained portions of the Amazonian rainforest, these territories were inhabited by […]

Abstract: Our goal is to simulate the interactions of future Martian colonists through an Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) approach, to anticipate conflict. Given the engineering and technological limitations, we draw on research regarding high performing teams in isolated high stress environments (ex. submarines, Arctic exploration, war) to focus on mental health of four standard psychological profiles. […]

Abstract: This article analyzes the construction of the imaginary created by the Brazilian Indigenous Movement against the historical representations imposed by the non-indigenous, of disappearance, and backwardness. It is based on the study of the speeches of the assemblies of Indigenous chiefs between 1974 and 1977. The crisis of institutional Indigenism, military authoritarianism, and developmentalism […]

Abstract: Indigenous people in settler colonies such as Australia, the United States, and Canada are currently engaged in a range of projects to revitalize their languages: to reclaim and restore them in the wake of colonial destruction. Such language revitalization is frequently met with fierce backlash. This article examines the relationship between language revitalization backlash […]

Excerpt: Teaching about Palestine in Australian schools and universities recently has been met with government and institutional resistance and sometimes censorship and disciplinary action. We see this as an indication of intersecting settler colonialisms: teaching Palestine unsettles the Australian settler colonial state. This situation is, therefore, an opportunity for educators to better engage with the […]

Abstract: This paper examines the persistent eects of Crown versus settler colonialism. Exploiting a spatial regression discontinuity design in Mexico, I document that regions where the relative power of the colonial state over settler elites was higher exhibit higher historical and contemporary economic prosperity. In contrast to the view that Crown judges disproportionately weakened property […]

Because settlement meant both direct federal administrative control over new lands and the opportunity for settlers to wield some flexibility in creating their own […]
