An examination of college students’ adult sexual assault experiences, risky drinking behaviors, alcohol centrality beliefs, and restorative justice attitudes
Sexual assault is an issue on college campuses and links to alcohol use and centrality beliefs. Severity of sexual assault experiences and alcohol use and centrality beliefs, independently and jointly, have deleterious effects on individuals' well-being. However, little is known about how this shapes individuals' perceptions of interventions that can aid in their restoration and healing - such as their attitudes toward restorative justice. In a s…

Ending Violence Against Indigenous Women
In this article, I explore the persistent nature of violence against Native women and the potential strengths of combining a human rights framing with strengthened tribal sovereignty to combat the violence and to hold settler states accountable for it. The article draws upon my ethnographic and archival research in several projects spanning two decades, including research on human rights, violence against Indigenous women, and Chickasaw sovereign…

A Dreadful Mosaic
This article explores conceptualizations of gender violence through the experience of indigenous women migrants. Departing from three oral histories that reflect the myriad forms of violence these women face, I apply an intersectional analysis to demonstrate the interrelated and mutually-constitutive nature of that violence. I argue that conceptualizations of a “continuum of gender violence,” while beneficially addressing the public private divid…
The Great Power of Small Nations
The Great Power of Small Nations:A History of Contemporary Relevance Shannon Speed (bio) ELIZABETH N. ELLIS'S The Great Power of Small Nations: Indigenous Diplomacy in the Gulf South is a remarkable book that sheds new light on the political systems of the "small nations" of the Lower Mississippi Valley in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and provides an important corrective to the long-standing erasure of their histories. Meticulously re…
Examining alcohol-related social norms among international and domestic students in the United States
Assimilation into U.S. drinking culture may be linked with increased support of drinking norms among International students. This study shows the importance of incorporating drinking norms prevention strategy and cultural diversity awareness training to increase international students' knowledge and prevent misconceptions. International students' social norms should be examined for future drinking interventions. Interventions for college drinking…

Presidential Comments to Introduce the 2020 Naisa Business Meeting
Presidential Comments to Introduce the 2020 NAISA Business Meeting Shannon Speed (bio) editors' note: NAISA, the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association, is the professional association responsible for publishing this journal. The 2020 annual meeting of the association was scheduled to be hosted by the University of Toronto in early May; however, in mid-March, facing the spreading COVID-19 pandemic, the NAISA Council made the difficult…
The Persistence of White Supremacy
Since the 2016 presidential election, there has been a resurgence of openly white supremacist discourse and action in the United States. The public debate following the election often suggested that Trump and his followers represented a backlash against the assumed progress of a multicultural and potentially even postracial society. However, the assumption inherent in this perspective, that white supremacy can be voted out or voted back in, is pr…
Power and Vulnerability through Indigenous Women’s Stories
This chapter explores the concept of settler capitalism, particularly in Latin America, as well as the concepts of structural and intersectional violence. It makes a case for Indigenous women’s stories as a valid form of theory and knowledge production. It also makes a case for a hemispheric Indigenous analytical lens.
Domestic Departures
The chapter explores gender violence Indigenous women experience at home and suggests that, far from being a private matter, it is fundamentally intertwined with state violence.
Perilous Passages
This chapter explores the journeys women undertake through Central America, Mexico and the United States as they seek to escape violence, and the new forms of violence they are made vulnerable to. Exploring youth gang, cartel, police, military, and immigration officials’ violence, the chapter argues that there is a fundamentally new type of state that is analytically inseparable from the illegality and violence, a “Neoliberal multicriminal” state…
Carceral Containments
This chapter examines women’s experience in the United States, particularly in immigration detention. It considers the expansion of immigration into private, for-profit prison industry and outlines the multiple violences and human rights violations that the detention of refugees imply.
Conclusion
This chapter brings the book full circle to the overarching argument that settler capitalist states are based on white supremacy and patriarchy as structuring and enduring logics that will continue to render Indigenous women vulnerable without a profound restructuring of society.
Beyond Detention
This chapter explores women’s experience after and beyond detention, considering the multiple ways they continue to be rendered vulnerable to violence.
Incarcerated Stories
Indigenous women migrants from Central America and Mexico face harrowing experiences of violence before, during, and after their migration to the United States, like all asylum seekers. But as Shannon Speed argues, the circumstances for Indigenous women are especially devastating, given their disproportionate vulnerability to neoliberal economic and political policies and practices in Latin America and the United States, including policing, deten…

From protection to coordinated preparedness
This article provides a genealogy of the governance of critical infrastructure in Canada. We focus in particular on a largely unknown and unexamined civil defense initiative introduced during World War II that sought to count, categorize and, under declaration of a national emergency, directly protect what were then known as ‘vital points’ from sabotage. Our analysis recounts major episodes and turning points in the deployment of this organizatio…
Structures of Settler Capitalism in Abya Yala
Structures of Settler Capitalism in Abya Yala Shannon Speed (bio) Latin American states are settler colonial states, though they are rarely analyzed in this way.1 Indeed, there often seems to be a kind of entrenched resistance to thinking about Latin America in settler colonial terms, for reasons that are complex, but have to do in large part to an implicit adherence to some premises of settler colonialism put forward by Patrick Wolfe, who is oft…
States of violence
The oral histories of indigenous women migrants from Latin America relate human rights violations at every step: in their homes, where violence and impunity compel them to migrate; as they cross the wide expanse of Mexico, encountering a gamut of dangers and a vast sea of impunity, and once they enter the United States, where as asylum seekers they are incarcerated under laws designed to impeded terrorism, or face new vulnerability to partners or…
Women’s Rights and Sovereignty/Autonomy
In recent years in both the United States and Latin America, indigenous peoples have taken increasing control over local justice, creating indigenous courts and asserting more autonomy in the administration of justice in their tribes, regions, or communities. New justice spaces, such as the Chickasaw District Courts in Oklahoma and the Zapatista Good Governance Councils in Chiapas, work to resolve conflict based largely on indigenous ‘customs and…
At the Crossroads of Human Rights and Anthropology
In this article, I consider anthropology's engagement with human rights today. Through the lens of my experience in a case brought before the International Labor Organization by a community in Chiapas, Mexico, I consider the ethical, practical, and epistemological questions that arise in research defined by rights activism. I argue that the critical engagement brought about by activist research is both necessary and productive. Such research can …

In Our Own Defense
Global Discourses on the Local Terrain
As discourses of human and cultural rights have become increasingly globalized, indigenous groups have progressively adopted them in their struggles for greater legal recognition within the state and/or autonomy from state control. The formulation of their rights claims in terms of cultural identities-i.e. `indigenous rights'-has strategic value for promoting their goals in the context of the globalization of human rights, but how such formulatio…

The Practice of Human Rights
Human rights are now the dominant approach to social justice globally. But how do human rights work? What do they do? Drawing on anthropological studies of human rights work from around the world, this book examines human rights in practice. It shows how groups and organizations mobilize human rights language in a variety of local settings, often differently from those imagined by human rights law itself. The case studies reveal the contradiction…
