Abstract: Settler colonial urbanisms and financialisation are two well cultivated areas of thought; however, both have been underutilised to explain the state of housing precarity in contemporary Canada. To address this gap this paper reframes financialisation and assetization through the lens of the settler colonial city and its racialised labour and property regimes. Through analysis […]

Abstract: This article explores the decolonial potential of the Palestinian Liberation Theology (PLT). It does so by examining the PLT’s attempt at establishing a decolonial Indigenous theology in pursuit of inclusive justice and liberation for both the colonised and the coloniser.

This paper examines how the politics of (not) recognizing the Ainu assist in the production of the Japanese settler nation […]

Abstract: Indigenous resistance to colonization can intersect uncomfortably and often violently with a fight by workers to access Indigenous lands for extraction and jobs. Jobs have always been a literal frontier of settler colonial conflict because, simply put, colonization takes work. When immigrants began to settle through recruitment programmes en masse in Canada, they benefitted […]

Description: The most enduring feature of U.S. history is the presence of Native Americans, yet most histories focus on Europeans and their descendants. The long practice of ignoring Indigenous history is changing, however, with a dynamic new generation of scholars insisting that any full American history must address the struggle, survival, and resurgence of American […]
