Abstract: Several scholarly works have opened discourse around the complicity of non-White settlers in continuing the oppression of Indigenous Peoples through their ideological adoption of and material participation in White supremacist neoliberal capitalist structures, structures set in place through settler-colonial possibility (Chen, 2021; Pulido, 2018; Saranillio, 2013; Tuck & Yang, 2012; Upadhyay, 2016). This anti-colonial […]

Abstract: The work of resurgence has been a primary focus of my research for some time as an Anishinaabe health, wellbeing, and physical activity researcher. I have focused on telling many Anishinaabek stories about resurgence through physical activity. But I have yet to tell my own. In my 2020 book, Indigenous feminist gikendaasowin: Decolonization through […]

Description: Rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and during the COVID-19 pandemic unleashed perpetual disaster on New Orleans’ Black and Indigenous communities. Neoliberalism masked by the auspices of repair, progress, and inclusion reinforced the plight of the urban poor while exacerbating the racial and class inequalities that existed before the storm. Cassandra Shepard’s […]

Description: An examination of anticolonial thought and practice across key Indigenous thinkers. Accounts of decolonization routinely neglect Indigenous societies, yet Native communities have made unique contributions to anticolonial thought and activism. Remapping Sovereignty examines how twentieth-century Indigenous activists in North America debated questions of decolonization and self-determination, developing distinctive conceptual approaches that both resonate with and reformulate […]

Abstract: Population displacement is a prominent state-building strategy. Using either force or positive inducements, states sponsor the resettlement of racial, ethnic, or linguistic groups to consolidate territorial control. We evaluate the long-run consequences of large-scale displacement by analyzing a historical episode in Afghanistan: the relocation of Pashtun communities during the rule of Emir Abd alRahman. […]

Abstract: Focusing on the Italian-Australian experience, this article outlines its authors’ migropessimism and their subsequent migro-optimism. We initially focus on what we perceive as the migrant’s ‘ontological death’. We will then follow unsuccessful attempts to carve a political space and more successful attempts to pursue spaces of personal autonomy. The immigrants to a settler society […]

Abstract: This article examines the Biden Administration’s 2024 sanctions on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, which were justified on the grounds that ‘extremist settler violence’ threatened peace and stability. While praised by some as a historic step toward accountability, these measures are best understood as part of a long US practice of using targeted […]

Abstract: This article compares Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables (1851) and Melville’s Pierre (1852) as antebellum US ‘romances’ in which the hearthside is represented not as a nostalgic emblem of domestic stability and sociality but as a contested site of property and labour. Through a framework that relates Paula Geyh’s ‘unhousing’ to Anna Brickhouse’s ‘unsettlement’ and Mark […]

Abstract: This article examines how white middle class farming women are woven into the narratives of settler colonialism in Australia. Drawing on visual and textual analyses of 150 posts from three major institutional Instagram accounts featuring Australian farming women: @invisfarmer, @agrifutures and @nsw_rwn, we focus on the entanglement of settler colonialism with neoliberal feminism and […]

Abstract: The essay explores the spatial myth of America as constructed through photography, focusing on the American West. It argues that photography has historically shaped the American myth by visualizing the frontier as a contact zone between wilderness and civilization. Using a theoretical framework grounded topological analysis, the essay juxtaposes 19th-century images of progress and […]
