Sexual violence and extraction
Gender-based and sexual violence permeates resource extraction. This violence operates in many forms and spheres, both public and private. Focusing on a case of overt, public violence, we ask, what is productive about gender-based and sexual violence for mining corporations? In the context of commitments to social responsibility and the gender impacts of mining, what can explain corporate engagement with acts of extreme violence that publicly und…
Who Cares for Communities? Conceptualizing Non-Profit Work as Social Reproduction Through the Case of Food Banks
This article conceptualizes non-profit labour as a form of social reproduction, a feminist political economy category that refers to the labour involved in the making of life and tending to it. In the contemporary context of neoliberal austerity in Canada, non-profit organizations have increasingly stepped in to fill widening gaps in essential social provisioning. The predominantly female non-profit workforce within these organizations, parallel …
Reading mine closure through Tłı̨chǫ self-determination
In Northern Canada, the Tłı̨chǫ have experienced a long history of settler-imposed mining. The history of the mines is written into Tłı̨chǫ place names that hold the knowledge of ecological harm and repair, the community re-purposing of mining equipment and refuse. This history and the broader context of past and present colonial dispossession of Indigenous peoples has shaped the contemporary engagement of Tłı̨chǫ with diamond mines, the largest …
Self-Determination in mine site transitions and mine closure governance across Indigenous nations
This introductory article provides a synthesis of and a conceptual framing for, the five contributing articles in the Special Section "Self-determination in mine closure and mine site transition across nations". These articles explore the intersections of mineral extraction, environmental legacies, and Indigenous post-mining futures in the context of mine site transitions. The articles provide a series of Indigenous-authored and collaborative con…
Indigenous Access to Social Assistance and Identity
In Canada, the settler colonial state uses the regulation of the so-called Indian identity as a dispossessive strategy, a racialized and gendered means of controlling access to resources and attempting to contain Indigenous human, nonhuman, and land-based relations. This regulation is informed by Western patriarchal ideals and mechanisms. We examine settler accounts of “Indian” identity and their effects through a gendered reading of Shubenacadie…
Reproduction and Resistance
In Northern Canada, Indigenous mixed economies persist alongside and in resistance to capital accumulation. The day-to-day sites and processes of colonial struggle, and, in particular, their gendered nature, are too often ignored. This piece takes an anti-colonial materialist approach to the multiple labours of Indigenous women in Canada, arguing that their social-reproductive labour is a primary site of struggle: a site of violent capitalist acc…
Divide and Conquer
In 2012, the Harper administration announced that it would be exploring voluntary legislation to introduce private property into First Nations reserves. Drawing on Marx's theories of primitive accumulation and ground-rent, this paper argues that privatizing communally held land is an ontological and structural dispossession, serving the dual functions of intensifying existing capital accumulation through the organizing role of private property, a…
