  • Eco-Criticism and Primitive Accumulation in Indigenous Studies

    Open AccessIyko DayCHAPTERAfter Marx2022

    This chapter explores the ways in which settler colonial racial capitalism designates Indigenous lands as nonsites of nuclear modernity, making them available for what Traci Brynne Voyles calls "wastelanding." These are sites that are deemed unproductive, backward, and peripheral to the technological superiority of the global north but are nevertheless mined for "resources." By homing in on the cycles of accumulation associated with uranium minin…

  • Property

    Iyko DayARTICLEAmerasia Journal2020

    This essay examines the power of private ownership as a material expression of “property as whiteness.” This reverses Cheryl Harris’s iconic conceptualization of “whiteness as property” in order to capture the racial and colonial dimensions of possessive individualism that anchors the concept of property

  • The Yellow Plague and Romantic Anticapitalism

    Iyko DayARTICLEMonthly Review2020Cited by: 1

    COVID-19 is a great revealer, laying bare the structures of racial disposability that have sacrificed people, from migrant detainees to meat packers. We are also witness to the rise of anti-Asian violence. Brutal attacks against Asian Americans have exposed the fraudulence of the model minority myth and the assimilationist paradigm that legitimizes state violence against Black and Brown bodies

  • Settler Colonialism in Asian North American Representation

    Iyko DayCHAPTEROxford Research Encyclopedia of…2018

    The study of settler colonialism has evolved from a nearly exclusive examination of the interplay of Indigeneity and white settler colonial domination to an engagement that has become attentive to questions of racialized migration. Because British settler colonies violently displaced Indigenous peoples without widespread exploitation of their labor, racialized migrant labor has played an important role in establishing and developing settler colon…

  • Tseng Kwong Chi and the Eugenic Landscape

    Open AccessIyko DayARTICLEAmerican Quarterly2013References: 4

    My essay examines Tseng Kwong Chi’s photographs of US and Canadian landscapes as a queer parody of the Western conventions associated with landscape art of the early twentieth century. Exploring the influence of Ansel Adams, Gutzon Borglum, and the Canadian Group of Seven landscape artists, I argue that Tseng’s photographs parody the eugenic ideals projected onto the settler colonial landscape

  • Alien Intimacies: The Coloniality of Japanese Internment in Australia, Canada, and the U.S

    Iyko DayARTICLEAmerasia Journal2010References: 4

    The incarceration of Japanese enemy aliens in concentration camps during World War II was a remarkably transnational phenomenon in Pacific settler colonies. Immediately following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the governments of Canada, the United States, and Australia set in motion the round up, removal, and incarceration of civilians of Japanese ancestry. Australia was first to implement extensive measures, rounding up near…

  • Lost in Transnation: Uncovering Asian Canada

    Iyko DayARTICLEAmerasia Journal2007References: 6

    This essay attempts to develop new ways to approach Canada in an North American comparative framework by surveying three existing modes of potential Canadian intervention and inclusion. They are, in descending degree of influence in the field of American studies: transnational, hemispheric, and most recently, Asian North American. Below I provide a broad overview and analysis of their recent configurations, considering in particular the structura…
