Description: In today’s cultural and political climate of relative LGBTQ+ inclusion, Settler Tenses: Queer Time and Literatures of the American West provides a literary history that rewrites our understanding of when and how queerness began to align with US nationalism and settler colonialism, tracing the discursive production of masculinities in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century […]

Description: Land and Labour narrates the history of the Potters’ Emigration Society, the most widely discussed project of its kind in the era of mass migration to America. Founded by the revived potters’ union in 1844, and the brainchild of a young Welsh-born activist, William Evans, it sought to solve the problems of surplus labour […]

Abstract: This essay corrects the tendency in critical transnational migration studies to evacuate the significance of land and its relationship to Indigenous sovereignty. Using Gloria Anzaldúa’s attention to the agency of land in her conceptualization of borderlands as a starting point, I apply the theoretical orientations offered by settler colonial and critical Indigenous studies to […]

Excerpt: On February 18, 2021, NASA released the first high-resolution color images of the Martian surface captured by the Perseverance rover—rust-red plains, wind-carved rock, and a landscape long imagined as holding clues about whether life ever existed on an otherwise lifeless planet.1 That same week, on February 23, 2021, US Customs and Border Protection circulated […]

Excerpt: This special issue brings an Indigenous critique to borderland studies and a borderland framework to Indigenous studies as part of articulating an emerging field called the “Indigenous Borderlands.” We aim to bring the “land back” to migration and border studies by considering borders from Indigenous perspectives and acknowledging Indigenous movements alongside other mobilities. Putting […]

Abstract: Racial/ethnic health disparities remain a persistent problem in the United States, and everyday discrimination is a key psychosocial pathway contributing to these disparities. Prior research has mostly relied on older, nonrepresentative, or single-group data and has rarely tested theory-driven explanations for why associations between discrimination and health vary across racial/ethnic groups. Guided by the […]

Excerpt: Despite being convicted with a minor sentence, the perpetrators of many such acts still go unpunished by the inaction of a system facilitating permeation of settler violence. This paper aims at understanding the evolution of such isolated acts, assess the role of the state, and finally evaluate accountability mechanisms both domestically and internationally through […]

Abstract: This article explores the relationship between innovation urbanism and settler colonial city-making through the case of Jerusalem/al-Quds. It argues that the theory and practice of “proximity,” often assumed to be a key prerequisite of innovative economy, is deeply entangled with settler colonial genealogies, terrains, and social relations. By analyzing “proximity” through the lens of […]

Abstract: While planning practice in settler-colonial contexts has long reproduced the settler-colonial relationship, growing municipal attention to colonial inequities provides a potential space for transformation. Drawing on semi-structured interviews, this paper interrogates how municipal planners involved in comprehensive land use planning processes in Montréal and Vancouver represent “reconciliatory” practice. The analysis reveals a tension in […]

Abstract: This article examines the emergence of a colonizing elite in the Global South. Despite the relevance of colonization processes, state formation, and the development of economically privileged groups, these phenomena have not been sufficiently connected from a historical perspective. Drawing on a database of life trajectories, genealogical ties, and commercial networks of 123 German […]
