Type de document Ouvrage Auteurs Hoffmann Odile Description: Belize, a British colonial territory until the 20th century, was long considered an “empty space” that needed to be organised by establishing colonial institutions – including property – and authorities that could regulate relations between Mayan inhabitants, land speculators, settlers and migrants of multiple origins. The book traces the […]

Abstract: This paper examines the eliminatory speed of Israeli settler colonialism, particularly the ways in which settler organizations aim to accelerate the pace of elimination at the colonial frontiers in Palestine. We show, by focusing on the settler NGO Regavim, how such settler entrepreneurs constantly develop new techniques that challenge the slow and creeping eliminatory […]

Abstract: This study presents an explanatory model that moves beyond the centrality of ideology in explaining the Palestinian-Zionist conflict and the driving forces of the Zionist movement as a settler-colonial movement since its emergence in Palestine. The study, which connects Deleuzian philosophy with post-colonial theory, presents a socio-political analysis to unearth the material facts and […]

Description: The Federalist Frontier traces the development of Federalist policies and the Federalist Party in the first three states of the Northwest Territory—Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois—from the nation’s first years until the rise of the Second Party System in the 1820s and 1830s.

These critiques extend to include Cultural Studies, despite the field’s inter (anti)disciplinary efforts to expose power and inequality in social relations, dominant institutions, popular culture, and everyday life. As part of the university-machine, […]

Abstract: Indigenous mapping practices have yet to be widely considered by geographers outside of a historical context. In this paper I critique the geographic research paradigm through the lens of settler colonial and critical cartographic theory. I present evidence for the value of Indigenous mapping practices through a historical-critical GIS analysis of two Indigenous maps, […]

Excerpt: Indigenous peoples are the third and most recent category to have a recognised right to self determination. Indigenous peoples are a separate legal category and thus should not be conflated with minorities to whom minority rights are granted. Indigenous peoples’ right to self-determination is defined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of […]

In doing so, this thesis argues that the advent and […]
