Cannery documents and other archival sources form the first half of the chapter; the second half examines the narratives of cannery work expressed in the poetry of Tlingit author Nora Marks Dauenhauer and in Filipino writer Carlos Bulosan’s novel America Is in the Heart to ruminate on queer affinities within settler colonial racial capitalism.","PeriodicalId":319375,"journal":{"name":"Space-Time Colonialism","volume":"180 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133686272","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}

In contrast to the remembrances of World War II Japanese American internment, the yet-to-be memorialized experiences of Unangax̂ internment underscore the limits of recognition or redress under the logics of settler time and settler space. Cautioning against celebratory narratives of multicultural inclusion, Space-Time Colonialism stresses the importance of examining the messy, entangled, and incommensurate violences enacted against Indigenous and Asian peoples in the colonial constructions of the settler state. Attending to the historical past of shared antagonisms and affinities between Asian immigrants and Alaska Native peoples within imperial and settler constellations conditions the possibilities for a liberatory future, beyond dispossession, exploitation, and extraction.","PeriodicalId":319375,"journal":{"name":"Space-Time Colonialism","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115035674","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}

Tourists spread this racialization to a popular audience, and women tourists in particular located the success of the territory on the promise of gendered domestication for Alaska Natives through orientalist tropes. In contrast to government documents and travelogues of the late nineteenth century, Tlingit author Ernestine Hayes’s memoir Blonde Indian provides a twentieth-century Indigenous feminist account of working in the tourist industry beyond settler orientalist configurations.","PeriodicalId":319375,"journal":{"name":"Space-Time Colonialism","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114352525","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}

Stories of the gold rush are most often associated with Alaska and its identification as the “last frontier.” Chapter 2 focuses on the folklore figure China Joe, who appears in two tales, widely reiterated from the late 1800s to the present: in his generous role as a baker who sustains starving prospectors during a winter freeze, and also as the only Chinese who is allowed to stay in Alaska when the Chinese working in a nearby mine are driven out. The story of China Joe’s exceptional benevolence is undermined by reading the driving out of Chinese in juxtaposition to the lynching of three Tlingit men—the two events taking place within three years of each other in the same Alaskan mining town.","PeriodicalId":319375,"journal":{"name":"Space-Time Colonialism","volume":"EM-26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126527462","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}

For three decades, he photographed the everyday activities of the town’s Native, Asian, and white residents, but, as World War II escalated, Kayamori committed suicide as rumors circulated that he was a spy. Kayamori’s photographs capture Asian immigrants within the Native place of Alaska as well as the complex sovereignty strategies of mid-twentieth-century Alaska Natives, approaches that exceeded settler temporality. Kayamori’s suicide, read alongside the internment of Unangax̂ and mixed Native-Japanese families, elucidates carceral violence and surveillance that reinforces the argument that, in Alaska, colonialism and militarism have always been intertwined processes.","PeriodicalId":319375,"journal":{"name":"Space-Time Colonialism","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130625870","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}
