Abstract: Questions over what, whether and when the Australian nation is or might be have been of consistent concern throughout most of Australia’s settler-colonial history and remain so today. In attempting to construct a national culture and identity, settler Australians, like settlers elsewhere, have invested in the establishment of a national literary tradition. This project of […]

Excerpt: Efforts to improve Indigenous-settler relations include recognizing and learning the truths of past and ongoing settler-colonialism in Canada, as well as challenging them. Access to appropriate educational resources is one important approach, as are projects that support critical, reflective and reciprocal relationship-building through the co-development of resources by teams comprised of members from Indigenous and settler communities. In this context the We are all […]

Abstract: This paper offers an original interpretation of Garibaldi’s political style and imaginary. The aim is to account for Garibaldi’s sustained engagement with the possibility of displacement as an alternative to revolution. It begins in an afternoon on a remote small island between two oceans. Garibaldi was considering his options. When he returned to Italy, he […]

Abstract: This article examines the reasoning of Canadian Supreme Court justices in the area of Aboriginal treaty rights, paying particular attention to the Grassy Narrows (2014) decision. By not only engaging with the internal logics contained within treaty rights decisions, but also by further contextualizing the decisions and comparing them to the transcripts of their […]

Drawing from the insights of recent scholarship, Janne Lahti recenters the history of the U.S. West in the global contexts of empires and settler colonialism, discussing exploration, expansion, migration, violence, intimacies, and ideas. Lahti examines established […]

Abstract: Yu-ting Huang and Rebecca Weaver-Hightower have collected essays that reflect on the production, circulation, and signification of settler material texts. Settlers, by definition, move, and as they do, and as they retrospectively reflect on the implications of their displacement, they produce and reproduce specific texts and create archives of material and discursive production. This […]

Abstract: How might we conceptualize settler colonialism differently when we study contemporary Germans in Namibia as enduring settlers, despite the fact that their forefathers failed to maintain a settler sovereign state? What if settler-colonial research took seriously the possibility that a community center in New Zealand’s Far North could do the work of decolonization? And […]

Abstract: Natural hazard management agencies across the settler countries Canada, Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, and the United States (or CANZUS countries) are presently involved in an increasing range of collaborative and consultative engagements with Indigenous peoples. However, perhaps because these engagements are diverse and relatively recent, little has been written about how they emerged and, […]

Abstract: For the already besieged and malnourished population of Gaza, the summer of 2014 was a summer of hell. For 51 days and nights, Israel decimated the Strip, dropping some 20,000 tons of explosives-the rough equivalent of six nuclear bombs-on one of the world’s most densely populated territories: a piece of land smaller than Liechtenstein, […]

Abstract: Despite increasing institutionalised recognition of Indigenous and Black environmental concerns in governance processes, the structures of settler colonialism and racial capitalism in North America continue to normalise dispossession and disproportionately burden marginalised communities with environmental harms. Engaging recent critiques of the inability of Indigenous rights frameworks to reverse ongoing colonial dispossessions and the failure […]
