Abstract: Drawing from 40 in-depth interviews with self-identified Pacific Islanders, I examine how Pacific Islanders develop their pan-ethno-racial identity alongside their Indigeneity within the U.S. racial hierarchy. I find that settler colonialism plays an active role in individuals’ identity formation—both as a historic event and as a contemporary structure—in three critical ways. First, respondents engage […]

Abstract: This paper investigates the ways in which settler colonialism, and particularly Zionist settler colonialism, explains Israel’s hyperincarceration and hyperpolicing of Palestinian children and the structural abuse these children are subjected to while detained. It argues that it is critical to contextualise Israel’s hyperincarceration of Palestinian children, including the abuse, torture, rape, displacement, and dispossession […]

Abstract: This paper uses Edward Said’s concept of colonial discourse to examine how Mars is colonized by the governments of Earth and dominated by transnational capitalism, as it is depicted in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Red Mars.

It takes the position that reconciliation is necessary in these states because they are the products of a particular form of historic injustice (i.e. settler state colonialism), which continues to poison the […]

Abstract: This dissertation examines how industrialized agriculture in the California Borderlands enacts and sustains settler colonialism through the entanglements of technology, race, and gender. Focusing on Ejido Eréndira in Baja California Norte, I analyze how agricultural technologies are not neutral tools but are coproduced with settler colonial structures that erase Indigenous presence and reshape the […]

To do this, they use their innate qualities and skills developed through experience to conceptualise a method which facilitates meaningful relationships between the two groups. The aim of this perspective piece was to help Western academy […]

It is argued that the violence of settler colonisation in Aotearoa New Zealand is pervasive and multifaceted. In historicizing the production and ideological maintenance of pastoralism and dairy farming in Aotearoa New Zealand, I argue […]
