Abstract: Palestinian exile in Ghassan Kanafani’s fiction deeply reshapes the relationships connecting individuals to home, memory, and historical existence. While existing scholarship has largely emphasized political nationalism, trauma, and structural settler-colonial violence, the ethical dimensions and processes of cultural sacralization sustained within disrupted domestic spaces remain underexplored, particularly in relation to how secular resistance narratives […]

Abstract: We possess a limited understanding of Indigenous electoral behavior, partisanship, and political attitudes. Previous research has mainly focused on explaining Indigenous electoral abstention and has faced constraints, mainly because of small sample sizes. Drawing on data from both the 2019 and 2021 Canadian Election Studies, which encompass an unprecedented number of First Nations, Inuit, […]

Abstract: It seems that Palestine has found a convenient spot in the cloud, as a complex, yet seemingly cohesive, digital nation comes into being. The growing possibilities of online connectivity through social media, search engines, and streaming services, along with the newly designed features of online articulation (posting, sharing, commenting, reacting, and so forth), are […]

Abstract: Grassroots cultural heritage in Palestine functions as a pivotal arena of resistance, challenging hegemonic heritage approaches adopted by the Israeli occupation, the Palestinian Authority, and international heritage organisations. Focusing on the NGO Riwaq’s initiatives in rural Jerusalem, this paper demonstrates how heritage becomes a site for reimagining Palestine beyond flagged symbols of nationhood. Through […]

Abstract: This dissertation examines how Native comedy operates as a rhetorical and psychoanalytic critique of settler colonialism. Focusing on the television series Reservation Dogs, I argue that gallows humor, which is defined as comedy engaging death, trauma, and suffering, functions as a distinctly Native rhetorical practice that reveals and resists ongoing colonial violence. Drawing on […]

Abstract: This chapter deals with the complex interaction between Indigenous sovereignty and state sovereignty within the context of settler colonialism in Canada. The author examines how European concepts of sovereignty have shaped and constrained Indigenous authority, with the Canadian legal system often seeking to limit the sovereignty of Indigenous nations, despite constitutional recognition of their […]

Excerpt: In Concord, Massachusetts, a few years ago, I attended a two-week summer residency on the topic of Thoreau and social reform in the American Renaissance. On the final day, we discussed “Native American Rights in Antebellum America.” At the very start of the event, one of the event’s panelists, Linda Coombs, an historian and […]

Abstract: This chapter discusses how, in their refusal to become pathological objects, Palestinians transform into foremost symptomatologists and physicians of not only settler colonial and capitalist psychosis but also of the world. Breaking from the laws of discourse, they resist and isolate the capitalist machine and its fascist, paranoid desire from the world. The text […]

Abstract: This paper examines the complex nature of indigeneity in Vietnam within a broader settler colonial framework. While Vietnam’s 54 ethnic groups are officially recognized as minorities, the inhabitants of the Central Highlands—including the Co Tu, Jarai, Ede, and Cham peoples— are specifically identified here as Indigenous, owing to their status as original inhabitants of […]

Abstract: Olive trees, emblematic of Palestinian identity, resilience, and sustenance, occupy a central yet precarious role in the ongoing colonization of Palestine by Israel. The proposed paper explores the ecological, cultural, and political significance of olive trees in the Zionist settler-colonial project. The destruction of over 800,000 Palestinian olive trees since 1967 reveals a deliberate […]
