Red Power, white narrative: Founding violence & the invalidation of Indigenous rights
The disavowal of ‘founding violence’ remains a core proposition of settler colonial theory. This paper expands our theoretical understanding of the concept to account for the strategic invocation of founding violence to legitimate settler colonial racial orders. Drawing from a sample of in-depth interviews (n = 27) with settlers who have historical connections to the American Indian Movement’s (AIM) confrontational activism in the 1970s, I show h…
Committing to the Streets: Activism among Former Gang Members as a Pathway to Personal and Community Change
Deploying former gang members and ex-offenders as street-level “interrupters” remains a foundational strategy of the Cure Violence model of violence mitigation. Amidst program evaluations yielding mixed evidence for the model’s effectiveness in reducing violence, we still know relatively little about the individuals engaging in the high-risk work of interruption. This paper draws on a multiyear ethnography of interrupters to better understand the…
Narrating the Territorial Foundations of Privilege: Racial Discourse and Indigenous Peoples

I argu…

No obstante, algunos estudios y mucha evidencia empírica proporcionan una base sólida para sostener la existencia de otras vías para el logro de los movimientos s…
