The society functioned as both a youth organisation and emigration society, making it especially valuable in examining girls’ multifaceted participation with the empire. The book charts […]

Abstract: As Israel’s genocidal campaign in Palestine continues to unfold, the number of murdered Palestinians has now surpassed 46,000 civilians, half of which are women and children. This number includes over 10,000 women, mostly in their reproductive age or pregnant, and 15,780 children, mostly infants and toddlers. This paper argues that the gendered nature of […]

Abstract: Around the time it was passed, the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980 was considered by many to be a great victory for the Wabanaki Nations in Maine. But in the decades since, the Act has substantially hindered the Wabanaki Nations’ self-determination efforts. Frequent litigation between the Nations and the state of Maine, […]

Abstract: In the last few decades, colonial studies have benefited from the engagement with Settler Colonialism Theory (SCT) in different case studies. Particularly in the Southern Cone, this articulation expanded the knowledge of present-day Uruguay and the Argentine Patagonia, territories traditionally inhabited by highly mobile groups. The Chaco has yet to be considered under the […]

Abstract: This review uses an anti-colonial approach to explore the characteristics of Indigenous interventions and best practice relating to suicidality. Well-established interventions led by Indigenous communities exist globally, yet their prevalence in academic discussions of suicide is comparatively limited. This represents a missed opportunity for the field of suicidology to learn from Indigenous community-driven models, […]

Abstract: The role of history in perpetuating settler colonialism is well documented. However, the manner in which Indigenous people draw on the past to resist this oppressive structure remains undertheorized. An anthropological approach is needed to appraise how Indigenous people entwine past and present in the context of Indigenous resurgence. I illustrate this by drawing […]
