Who Needs Decolonization
Following a decade of heightened Indigenous anticolonial struggles—from Wet’suwet’en to Standing Rock, Elsipogtog to Mauna Kea, and Nuluujaat to Bolivia—decolonization has become a watchword in scholarly and popular political analyses. This places the term at risk of misappropriation and defanging by academics, publishers, and politicians. Nevertheless, Indigenous scholars and movement actors have developed the concept as a theory of radical soci…
Settler colonialism and political theory
Today the term ‘settler colonialism’ and its associated theoretical frameworks hold obvious significance. The notion of settler colonialism now serves frequently as a lens for critical political and social thought in the humanities and social sciences and outside the academy in social movements. The laser focus on the politics of erasure ought to be impossible to evade, by dint of its gruesome salience to the continuing live-streamed Israeli geno…

The contributors seek to overcome the standard opposition of democracy from below (participatory) and democracy from above (representative). Rather, they argue that through differently situated participatory and representative practic…
Imagoed communities
Settler colonialism is a unique form of colonial domination, as its successful operation makes it increasingly difficult to identify as a colonizing project. The author asserts, in agreement with much of the literature, that settler colonialism follows a spatializing logic that transmorgrifies the territory of indigenous peoples into settler spaces. Moving beyond the literature, the author asserts that production of settler spaces simultaneously …
