Abstract: The starting point of this paper is mapping extreme right-wing discourses about Indigenouspeoples and their territories and examining how they are reclaimed and subverted through Indigenous resistance movements in Brazil. We highlight how the discursive production resulting from the largest Brazilian Indigenous conference – the Free Land Camp (Acampamento Terra Livre – ATL), in […]

Abstract: This article confronts the urgent need for Indigenous Fat Studies by asking: What does it mean to embody fatness as an Indigenous person under the weight of settler-colonial oppression? Fatness, for Indigenous Peoples, is a radical site of resistance against a colonial legacy that enforces Eurocentric ideals of health, beauty, and body size. Indigenous […]

Excerpt: Early colonial artwork in Australia can tell us a lot about landscape, botany and colonial attitudes. This is very much the case with this painting of King George’s Sound (now Albany) in Western Australia, informally known as the Dale Panorama. So, what is the background to this huge work, almost 3 m in length, […]

Abstract: Indigenous Peoples in Canada face significant environmental health challenges, including long-term, low-dose toxic exposures that contribute to pronounced health disparities compared to the general population. The unequal distribution of industrial contamination and historical practices such as mercury dumping primarily drive these disproportionate toxic exposures. The authors have conducted extensive research in this area including […]

Abstract: This dissertation examines the genealogy, racialization, and political consequences of responsibilization—how people are rendered responsible—as a moral technology of governance. It argues that the ideal of self-making—the notion that individuals are wholly responsible for their successes or failures—functions as a racialized and racializing myth sustaining liberal freedom, settler colonialism, and racial capitalism in America. […]

While the Han-oriented mainstream society generally assumes “colonial heritage” to be culture heritage associated with the Japanese colonial period or earlier, the Dutch period in the 17th century, the Indigenous People of Taiwan has experienced multiple colonializations that […]

Abstract: There is an emerging narrative of Australian frontier massacre places as sites where truth-telling about past injustices might foster reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Yet this narrative obscures a more complex story of the ongoing violence of settler-colonialism. This article focuses on the Minnamurra River massacre place in New South Wales, where ongoing […]

Abstract: This paper explores the potential offered by deploying a settler colonial critique in Algeria. Issues around sovereignty constitute its central topic, as I consider the following questions: What did sovereignty mean for Algerian Arab and Kabyle communities subsequent to independence? How has colonial urban design historically shaped – and continued to shape – power […]

Abstract: Indigenous students pursuing doctoral education often navigate environments shaped by the historical and on-going settler colonial structure of the United States. This study aimed to examine the lived experiences of Indigenous doctoral students with microaggressions at NonNative Colleges and Universities (NNCUs), with attention to how these incidents are shaped by underlying settler colonial dynamics. […]

Abstract: Indigenous communities internationally have demonstrated remarkable strength despite significant challenges. Health disparities among Indigenous peoples persist due to historical injustices and ongoing racial discrimination, not inherent vulnerabilities. Disparities are rooted in a legacy of colonisation, systemic exclusion, and socio-economic inequities impacting access to healthcare, education, and employment. Preliminary searches show limited literature on models […]
