Investigating the Settler Colonial Structuring of the United States
Settler colonialism is increasingly recognized as an aspect of United States history and society. But understanding how settler colonialism is an ongoing structure rather than a historical event that happened in the past is challenging for current students to grasp. The processes and acts that initially dispossessed most Indigenous land in North America and gave settlers access to it occurred prior to the twenty-first (and twentieth) century. Thi…
Settler colonialism and sociological knowledge
Magnifying and healing colonial trauma in higher education
Unsettling as agency
A great deal of recent sociological scholarship in Canada has examined the ‘unsettling' process motivating non-Natives or ‘settlers' to act in solidarity with Indigenous movements and their experiences of becoming unsettled through such engagements. Informed by settler colonialism and Indigenous studies concerns, such conceptualizations of unsettling have focused primarily on individual trajectories', in conjunction with an overriding normative e…
Cautionary Stories of University Indigenization
Increasingly, a discourse of indigenizing is being articulated in United States higher education. This article contributes to the limited existing research that examines how indigenization processes, well underway in Canada, are able to transform post-secondary institutions and/or how transformation is resisted and contained. With attention to institutional dynamics, Native studies’ centering of community accountability, and patterns of settler-c…
Why was Standing Rock and the #NoDapl campaign so historic? Factors affecting American Indian participation in social movement collaborations and coalitions
Is the #NoDAPL mobilization, which was historically unusual as a national scale grassroots campaign featuring American Indians grassroots activists and tribal governments in coalition with others, an indicator of future similar efforts? Or, will the Standing Rock resistance be a relative aberration, based on a unique set of circumstances? To explore these questions, I draw upon theory and historical scholarship about American settler colonialism;…
Decolonization Not Inclusion
American Indians experience forms of domination and resist them through a wide range of decolonizing processes that are commonly overlooked, misidentified, or minimally analyzed by American sociology. This inattention reflects the naturalizing use of minoritizing frameworks regarding tribal members and ethnic rather than political conceptions of American Indian nationhood, membership, and identity. Drawing upon a settler colonial framework, the a…
Bisexual Men in Culture and Society
Settler Colonial Power and the American Indian Sovereignty Movement
The article extends the multi-institutional model of power and change through an analysis of the American Indian Sovereignty Movement. Drawing upon cultural models of the state, and articulating institutionalist conceptions of political opportunities and resources, the analysis demonstrates that this framework can be applied to challenges addressing the state as well as nonstate fields. The rational-legal diminishment of tribal rights, bureaucrat…
Revisiting the Invisibility of (Male) Bisexuality
The article draws upon research published in the Journal of Bisexuality since the author's 2001 article to make observations about bisexuality research and about continuing sex and gender differences in bisexual visibility. Great interest in queer theory reflects the preponderance of theorizing about bisexuality as a transformative, liberatory and disruptive social identity. Advocating for sociological approaches and the analytic inclusion of non…
Sovereigns and citizens? The contested status of American Indian tribal nations and their members
American Indian tribal members are citizens of both tribal nations and the larger national body. Tribal nations' contemporary resurgence has made tribal citizenship politically visible, materially significant, and politically contested. Conflicts about tribal members' status are not merely racial or ethnic in character, but reflect fundamental tensions between settler societies and indigenous survivors who challenge national narratives and demand…
(Mixed) Perceptions of Tribal Nations' Status
This article examines the multiple and contradictory ways that tribes, as anomalies within American governance, have been conceptualized within popular opinion and federal Indian policy. It is the inconsistent treatment tribes have received, based on these differing conceptions, that makes Indian gaming so confusing and conflictual. Tribal gaming is conducted based on rights derived from an understanding of tribes as sovereign nations represented…
Indigenous Nationhood Claims and Contemporary Federalism in Canada and the United States
Vibrant indigenous communities have not only survived in both the United States and Canada but have recently been advancing a variety of renewed political claims. Central among them are claims to nationhood status and treatment as sovereign governments rather than as racial or ethnic minority groups. While initially following parallel trajectories, these respective efforts have produced surprising and divergent results to date. Although the accep…
Legitimizing American Indian Sovereignty
Extensive sociolegal scholarship has addressed the utility of law as a mechanism through which marginalized groups may promote social change. Within this debate, scholars employing the legal mobilization approach have thus far highlighted law's indirect impact, beyond the formal arenas of law, via effects on the "legal consciousness" of reformers and would-be reformers. This article contributes to this debate, and the legal mobilization framework…
American Federalism and Intergovernmental Innovation in State-Tribal Relations
Relations between American Indian tribes and state governments are poorly understood; they have been inaccurately portrayed as exclusively or increasingly conflictual. This study balances such perceptions and identifies constructive patterns of state-tribal relations that developed between 1970 and 2003. President Richard M. Nixon's 1970 policy of Indian self-determination affirmed Indian tribes' survival; yet it failed, in the context of tribes'…
Interpreting the Invisibility of Male Bisexuality
Bisexuality has come to be a contentious, openly-hidden identity amidst evolving sexual identities and contested sexual politics. A number of specific dynamics characterize engagements involving bi-sexuality, including definitional controversies, border disputes among gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities, and debates over minority group rights that have both reflected and produced gay and lesbian investments in identity. This article draws on t…
