Abstract: This article offers a reading of Waubgeshig Rice’s speculative novel Moon of the Turning Leaves (2023) that explores its commitment to representing resurgent Indigenous futures and ecologies in the face of environmental catastrophe. Written within the convention of Indigenous futurism, the novel depicts Anishinaabe futurity amid anthropogenic environmental change, inherently linked to colonialism. Drawing […]

Excerpt from the introduction: For decades, scholarship in Indigenous Studies has grappled with using and interpreting newspapers, journals, and other forms of printed media. Questions of voice, authority, and purpose interweave with the instruments and articulations of colonialism. They also speak to misplaced and misleading binaries that situate Indigenous peoples at odds with modernity, in […]

Abstract: This chapter argues that violence against Indigenous women extends beyond interpersonal or physical harm to encompass institutional and epistemic forms of violence embedded within settler-colonial systems. Through empirical insights from the Stay in Your Lane and Make Us Count projects, we reveal how universities, funding bodies, and workplaces reproduce colonial hierarchies under the guise […]

Abstract: This article mobilises generation as a lens for theorising and examining the contingent and permuting character of settler colonial formations, with a specific focus on Gaza. Generation, we argue, calls attention to settler colonial rule as situated and embodied, and temporalities of survival and resistance as layered and heterogenous. We draw on 20 interviews […]

Description: A unique record of the Hawkesbury’s Frontier War and a powerful contemplation on memory and atonement. In this groundbreaking history of colonisation and frontier conflict in the Hawkesbury region, historian Barry Corr navigates the gaps and silences in the primary records to reveal settler amnesia, the cataclysmic nature of colonisation and the way history […]

Description: The field of genocide studies has experienced extraordinary growth during the past two decades. It stands today as one of the most diverse and interdisciplinary in the social sciences and humanities. Likewise, the field’s anchoring case studies have proliferated, from an initial focus on the Jewish Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, and the genocide of Tutsi in […]

Description: This volume offers examinations that help better understand how Israel’s genocide in Gaza was perpetrated, the role of global and regional orders in enabling the destruction, and ways to challenge erasure. Drawing on a range of perspectives—such as international law, anthropology, politics and international relations, media studies, feminist approaches, Indigenous and settler colonial studies—the […]

Abstract: Colonial misappropriation refers to the ways that settler colonial government agencies and institutions misappropriate Indigenous land, water, knowledge and bodies to defy national and tribal laws, extending settlement and solidifying ideologies that sustain difference. This paper examines one specific project – the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) – to show how O’odham relationships and […]

Abstract: This paper expands upon Patrick Wolfe’s ‘logic of elimination’ to propose a broader conceptual framework to understand the logics which underpinned European settler colonialism at large. Using the three Pacific voyages of British navigator James Cook between 1768 and 1779 as a case study, the geographic and ideological expansion of empire is positioned as […]

Abstract: This article untangles a set of early nineteenth-century histories of military expansion by the British East India Company into the Himalayas. It uses shifting approaches in graphical representation to address the curiously slow development of hill stations in these landscapes, alongside medical experiments by Europeans in a radical testing of altitude, bodily effects and […]
