Abstract: This article explores the decolonial potential of the Palestinian Liberation Theology (PLT). It does so by examining the PLT’s attempt at establishing a decolonial Indigenous theology in pursuit of inclusive justice and liberation for both the colonised and the coloniser. While PLT offers a compelling spiritual resistance and contextual hermeneutics contesting Western and Zionist […]

Abstract: This commentary extends Van Sant and Fairbairn’s right to the rural concept by examining how access claims operate in contested territories through the case of Weli Oya, Sri Lanka. Analysing this Sinhala settlement scheme at the edge of Tamil-claimed territories, I demonstrate how rural access claims transcend agricultural utility to serve territorial control projects and reinforce […]

The long practice of ignoring Indigenous history is changing, however, with a dynamic new generation of scholars insisting that any full American history must address the struggle, survival, and resurgence of American […]


Description: In his late writings, Marx went beyond the boundaries of capital and class in the Western European and North American contexts. Kevin Anderson carries out a systematic analysis of Marx’s Ethnological Notebooks and related texts on Russia, India, Ireland, Algeria, Latin America, and ancient Rome.

Abstract: This forum explores the geopolitics of infrastructure in the context of Israel’s war on Gaza, situating the current genocide within longer histories of settler colonialism, spatial control, and transnational complicity. As homes, hospitals, and schools are reduced to rubble, this destruction is not only military, but infrastructural – an assault on the material conditions […]
