As in the designation “landed gentry,” landedness emphasizes land ownership as the key criterion for subject formation under […]

Excerpt: The struggle to erase settler consciousness within a settler colonial project is also the struggle to build a nationalist imagination that is hyphenated: anchored in national identity while simultaneously dependent on transnational infrastructures of power.
