Abstract: Human space-faring societies have been the subject of science fiction and the imagination of countless people desiring a different way of life. Various concepts of what life would be like in space, whether on a spacecraft, space station, or other planets or moons, vary with the imagination of those seeking various idealistic or altruistic […]

Abstract: This article presents a meta-narrative examining the Canadian settler public’s indifference toward Indian Residential Schools and associated genocide denial. To produce this meta-narrative, its research methodology of re-framing draws on critical anti-colonial and decolonial scholarship. The findings demonstrate a clear connection between the logic of settler colonialism and Canadians’ indifference to the nation’s history […]

Abstract: In settler-colonial states that seek to recognize Indigenous rights, such as Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ), the transition to agricultural sustainability must draw upon the insights of both Indigenous knowledge, in this case mātauranga Māori, and Western knowledge systems. This was the premise behind the ‘Sustainability Transition Challenge Wānanga’ that took place in 2023 under the leadership of […]

Description: Before wartime removal and incarceration, most West Coast Japanese Americans, including immigrant Issei and US-born Nisei generations, resided in rural agricultural areas. Existing histories of Japanese America have often overlooked this farming aspect of their experience, focusing instead on urban narratives. Centered on the town of Walnut Grove, the “downriver” (kawashimo) settlement was home […]

Abstract: ‘Finding potentialities’ has become a central obsession in colonial and state-driven efforts to identify latent value in land and life forms. It functions as a primary mechanism through which multispecies colonialism operates in Papua’s wetlands. Drawing on Dutch colonial reports and the early work of Indonesian agrarian reform scholar Gunawan Wiradi, this analysis traces […]

Abstract: We analyse statements by US President Trump issued since returning to the White House in early 2025 and focus on pronouncements concerning three particular sites: South Africa, Gaza and Greenland. A coordinated array of specifically settler colonial imaginings emerges: South Africa is a site of past settler struggle–a spectre, it must be punished and […]

Abstract: This paper examines the tensions between Indigenous sovereignty and the structural and institutional logics of the settler colonial academy. Critical scholarship suggests that higher education can regulate epistemic boundaries, discipline knowledge production, and shape the subjectivities of colonized students. In this context, the paper explores how colonized students enact individual and collective forms of […]

Abstract: Settler colonialism is a theory, policy, and practice in which settlers create new political orders on lands dispossessed from Indigenous peoples. Typically, an empire seeks to remove Indigenous inhabitants and replace them with settlers from the metropole in order to generate revenues from land sales, bolster sovereignty claims through occupation of territory, and, eventually, […]

Abstract: Given the diversity of Asian diasporas, these communities hold varied and complex roles in and experiences of US settler colonialism, settler militarism, and racial capitalism. Many Asian diasporas came to this country as removable and excludable “alien” labor or as refugees, each with their own colonial and imperial relationships with Europe, the United States, […]

Abstract: The migration and adaptation of Italian settlers during and after decolonization offer valuable insights into the sociopolitical dynamics of empire’s end and its enduring legacies. Italian settlers navigated diverse trajectories, including repatriation to a war-torn metropole; adaptation to postwar Italy’s socioeconomic challenges; and continued settlement in former colonies such as Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Libya.
