Description: The Occupied Palestinian West Bank is central to the Israeli colonial project. It serves as a significant example of occupation. Yet little is understood about how Israeli rule over this area operates. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Israel and Palestine, including interviews with state officials, settlers and military personnel, this book examines the evolution […]

Abstract: Indigenous-specific racism in the health system perpetuates significant harm for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples despite extensive system-wide commitments to Indigenous Cultural Safety. This article argues that Indigenous-Specific Anti-Racism must be foregrounded as a foundational approach to achieve Indigenous Cultural Safety. Indigenous Cultural Safety was developed to address conditions that make care unsafe […]

Excerpt: Authors’ words are the center of literary expression and analysis. In addition to “close reading” and qualitative approaches to literature, there is a growing interest in using computer-assisted text-mining to understand patterns in written expression.1 By counting the use of certain key terms and other terms in their proximity for context, text-mining finds potential […]

Excerpt: Over the past thirty years, there has been a growing body of research on Indian boarding schools. Researchers using the settler colonial framework as developed by Wolfe and others1 have shown that the primary purpose of the federal government’s Indian boarding school policy was not to provide education to Native children,2 but to facilitate […]

Abstract: Indigenous communities have long identified settler colonialism as foundational in conditioning health and wellbeing, and its role as a structuring force is increasingly recognized within population health. Yet analytic frameworks in the health sciences have limitations in representing its causal dynamics, with dominant epidemiologic approaches relying on causal assumptions—linearity, discrete exposures, and stable pathways—that […]

Abstract: The South African National Gallery in Cape Town, South Africa, was founded and functioned as a British colonial institution, designed to encourage cultural imperialism within the Cape Colony. It was forced to shift this founding focus as British influence in South Africa waned and the nation defined its own identity. This dissertation examines SANG’s […]

Abstract: Settler colonialism is increasingly recognized as an aspect of United States history and society. But understanding how settler colonialism is an ongoing structure rather than a historical event that happened in the past is challenging for current students to grasp. The processes and acts that initially dispossessed most Indigenous land in North America and […]

Description: The damaging impact of reconciliation politics. Since the early 2000s, the Canadian government has attempted reconciliation with Indigenous Nations through varied efforts: treaty processes, government commissions, rebranding campaigns for settler-owned businesses, workshops for state and local officials, school curriculum changes, and a recently christened national holiday. However, Joseph Weiss argues, these state-driven initiatives reinforce […]

Excerpt: Tracing how states see Indigenous peoples—and to what ends—I argue that state vision is not merely about managing populations but is structured by settler-colonial logics of dispossession and the erasure of Indigenous life (Jacobs 2018). I use the term settler surveillance to highlight these settler logics that undergird contemporary surveillance regimes. By settler colonial, I […]

Abstract: Native nations in the United States hold inherent sovereignty. Yet, many White Americans oppose this political authority. Drawing on thematic analysis of open-ended survey responses from 558 White Americans reacting to 10 real-world sovereignty scenarios, we identify the ideological mechanism through which this opposition works, which we call inclusive elimination. Inclusive elimination dissolves Native […]
