Abstract: The settler colonial project of India in occupied Kashmir operates through a sustained project of domination, cultural erasure and demographic engineering. While India’s political, military, and demographic interventions in Kashmir are well-documented, their profound and enduring impacts on individuals, particularly the 1989 Kashmiri refugees, remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by drawing on […]

Abstract: In 2019, I went on a search of the National Library and Archives of Canada. I was looking for the petitions of Pierre Shawinipinessi, an Algonquin leader who successfully petitioned the British government for land to be set aside for his community, only to have the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, twenty years later, deny […]

Description: “Will you not memorize a little poetry to halt the slaughter?” the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish wrote. Darwish’s poetic statement points to world-evacuating and genocidal violences—in a triangulation of Palestine, Iraq, and the American settler state—as his language recalls us to a sonority in utterance and acts of refusal in collective form. Through readings […]

Abstract: Climate change is an inherently human-made phenomenon that shapes the mobilities of species and things who, in turn, influence the ways climate change is experienced by humans. These multifaceted climate mobilities are grounded in the spatial histories of imperialism and settler-colonialism, and the legacies of socio-cultural injustice inflicted upon the Global South. Central to […]

Description: How did an Arab dish become an Israeli culinary passion?

Abstract: Settler laws over Indigenous land are often an unquestioned norm, and depending on the political climate of the settler nation, some states do accommodate Indigenous access to natural resources for their cultural practices. However, what happens when Indigenous communities refuse to ask settler authorities for permission to practice their heritage? This paper examines the actions of […]

Abstract: This paper presents an intersectional discursive analysis of a web statement issued on January 10, 2024 by a group of selfidentified South African Christian leaders opposing the South African government’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. Using a critical discourse analytic framework informed by Michel Foucault’s theorization of discourse and […]

Abstract: In 2023, Australians went to the polls to vote on a proposal to recognize Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the national constitution through the creation of an advisory body called the Voice. The proposal was soundly defeated, raising questions about the possibility of reconciliation and Indigenous recognition. While there have been many […]

Abstract: The paper identifies and explains the landowning systems in Abyssinian (Amhara-Tigray) areas and the colonized regions, mainly Oromia. Amhara-Tigray farmers communally own land based on extended lineages. However, the Ethiopian colonial state and colonial settlers dispossessed most of the Oromo lands and reduced most Oromo and other nationalities to landless serfs (gabbars). The piece […]
