Abstract: In the last few decades, colonial studies have benefited from the engagement with Settler Colonialism Theory (SCT) in different case studies. Particularly in the Southern Cone, this articulation expanded the knowledge of present-day Uruguay and the Argentine Patagonia, territories traditionally inhabited by highly mobile groups. The Chaco has yet to be considered under the […]

Abstract: This policy brief critiques the revival of People-to-People (P2P) projects, arguing they undermine Palestinian rights and Israeli accountability. P2P initiatives, framed as promoting cooperation and peace, are based on a flawed premise that equates the colonizer and the colonized. The author contends that P2P projects normalize the occupation and are ineffective and unwanted by […]

Abstract: Alice Manfield (1878–1960) was a naturalist, photographer, and mountain guide on Mount Buffalo, in southeastern Australia. She embodied emerging ways of understanding and relating to native flora and fauna, publishing the first known photographs of male lyrebirds and attributing her success to long-term familiarity with these endangered animals and their environment. For credibility and […]

Abstract: This article examines the hegemonic and counter-hegemonic moves between the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign and the Canadian state. First, the article conceptualizes the centralized and diffused organizational structure of the campaign as it was developed in Palestine. It highlights how organizers in Palestine sought to challenge Israeli settler colonialism and anticipated the […]

Abstract: This review uses an anti-colonial approach to explore the characteristics of Indigenous interventions and best practice relating to suicidality. Well-established interventions led by Indigenous communities exist globally, yet their prevalence in academic discussions of suicide is comparatively limited. This represents a missed opportunity for the field of suicidology to learn from Indigenous community-driven models, […]

Abstract: The role of history in perpetuating settler colonialism is well documented. However, the manner in which Indigenous people draw on the past to resist this oppressive structure remains undertheorized. An anthropological approach is needed to appraise how Indigenous people entwine past and present in the context of Indigenous resurgence. I illustrate this by drawing […]

Description: Indigenous peoples and Japanese Canadians have demanded justice from the Canadian state for its discriminatory systems of colonialism and racial management. Since the early aughts, critics have argued that state apologies co-opt those demands. Meanwhile, many Canadian institutions still attempt to control narratives about residential schools and other violences committed against Indigenous peoples, as […]

Abstract: Settler colonialism has been theorised as a form of oppression and domination distinct from other colonisation and imperialism processes. This paper aims to deconstruct settler colonialism domination by illuminating both the power of oppression and the power of resistance in Palestine and in the establishment by Israel of settler colonial tourismscapes. Building on Foucault’s […]

Abstract: This article engages with the folk and country song ‘City of New Orleans’ to explore the meanings of structure, territoriality, spatial production, and historical process in settler colonial studies. We model a mode of interpreting the song’s lyrics, formal elements, gestures, and affect that reveals the habits, tastes, and dispositions (habitus) by which invasion […]

Description: A decade ago, the first edition of this defining book explained what it meant to be Settler — acknowledging that Canada has been forged through ongoing violence, displacement, and assimilation of Indigenous communities and Nations — and argued that accepting this identity is an important first step towards changing relationships with Indigenous Peoples. The […]
