To this end, I first provide a definition of a trans feminist abolition radically focused on the otherwise, or the eradication of all forms of social oppression. This definition is followed by close readings of U je'etsel's communiqués regarding AMLO's 2021 visit to the Yucatán peninsula and the continued role the so-called “Caste War” plays in attempts to expand nationalized colonization into the region. My final goal is to proffer that “Caste War” constitutes a historicized form of radical autonomy as well as project of abolition subject to forces that seek to vacate it of its liberatory power. I demonstrate that part of U je'etsel's discursive project is to reclaim the “Caste War” narrative as part of an emancipatory project involving a radical reclaiming of autonomy's regional history.","PeriodicalId":21946,"journal":{"name":"South Atlantic Quarterly","volume":"115 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79344807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper begins by laying waste to allyship, then describes accomplice work as a contradistinctive praxis through which those who might understand themselves as white unravel and unbecome themselves. A paraontological blackness, I propose, following Fred Moten, Tiffany Lethabo King, and others, is the “method” of that unbecoming. This paraontological, black, unbecoming is also a remaking otherwise, and is thus abolitionist, making the claim that a radical alterity from the strictures of racial identity is necessary, possible, and desirable.","PeriodicalId":21946,"journal":{"name":"South Atlantic Quarterly","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73696348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"#AbolishCanada: Breaking Down the 2022 Freedom Convoy","authors":"Lisa Guenther","doi":"10.1215/00382876-10644118","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1215/00382876-10644118","url":null,"abstract":"The 2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, Canada, raises questions about the meaning and tactics of decolonial abolition. To call for the police of a colonial state to crack down on unruly settlers on stolen Indigenous land is both hypocritical and ineffective. And yet, it isn't clear how to organize effective grassroots resistance against a well-funded group of possibly armed right-wing protesters in trucks. This essay situates the Freedom Convoy in the longer durée of capitalist extraction and colonial state violence in so-called Canada, arguing that the convoy was not an anomaly but the expression of a global logic of carceral racial capitalism. It then engages with teachings shared by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson about the beaver's practice of building dams that sustain life and, in some cases, threaten it. If we understand Canada as both a liberal democracy and a “criminal empire” willing to destroy the earth and the Indigenous nations that care for it, then Robyn Maynard is right: abolition means Land Back. The question for decolonial abolitionists then becomes not just how to shut down prisons or dislodge right-wing occupations, but rather how to staunch the flows of colonial racial capitalism, deepening pools that support diverse forms of life.","PeriodicalId":21946,"journal":{"name":"South Atlantic Quarterly","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79840846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the notion of peripheries as extensions of something integral is displaced in favor of the ways in which geographical and political binaries extend each other, albeit with marked power differentials, into incompleteness. So, instead of the South embodying specific capacities, enclosures, ontologies, and potentials, it is rather its various tracks and circulations, rather than consolidations, that engender dispositions beyond clear apprehension or capture. Thinking of such extensions through the lens of Blackness, the South becomes a mode of exposure to a wider world that both unsettles the ruling calculus of what counts as lives worth living and pieces together territories of operation that cut across technologies of bordering even as borders remain obdurate and exclusionary. Here the South is a space within and beyond capture, a periphery that can appear anywhere. What becomes important, then, are the relays between those who venture off, seek to cultivate, or are enfolded into new terrain and those who remain, bear witness to changing or obdurate conditions in place, with each position remaining somewhat peripheral and independent upon each other.","PeriodicalId":21946,"journal":{"name":"South Atlantic Quarterly","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84528386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially interwar Europe saw this unevenness come to the fore with the residency in Europe of intellectuals and activists from the global South who joined Europeans of like mind in the wake of the Russian Revolution to forge a new international order. The Bengali revolutionary M. N. Roy was one of the most exceptional figures of this type, a promoter equally of science and humanism who dedicated the latter part of his life, in fact, to promoting a “radical and integral humanism” fashioned in part on the work of European thinkers of earlier centuries. In doing so, he was establishing the unevenness of Europe, and making a case for Europe as a joint creation. He was pointing out that these ostensibly European ideas derived from an Enlightenment infused with the more worldly and cosmopolitan philosophies of medieval Arabic, Persian, and Jewish thought.","PeriodicalId":21946,"journal":{"name":"South Atlantic Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89771524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
