It looks at how various groups have been included by virtue of territorial expansion, immigration, and the granting of refugee status. It also examines their exclusion through the racialization of citizenship and immigration laws to ensure a predominantly White population. This history allows us to understand how, even today, the settler class is intent on constructing a labor force that is “othered” in the interest of keeping its low-wage workers both accessible and disposable.","PeriodicalId":147008,"journal":{"name":"Settler Colonialism, Race, and the Law","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116688302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To the extent that racial subordination is rooted in and perpetuates colonial relationships of domination and subordination, its eradication will require us to imagine how we can implement the right of all peoples to self-determination. This chapter suggests that the process will involve independent understandings of state, nation, and identity; the development of strategies to empower our communities; and engagement with or support of grassroots movements for self-determination.","PeriodicalId":147008,"journal":{"name":"Settler Colonialism, Race, and the Law","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131816284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
