Motifs found in the Australian literary tradition signify this haunting-Aboriginal spectrality, uncanny Aboriginal ceremonial grounds, and taboo massacre sites being the most common. Settler authors typically use these literary devices in moments of social and political upheaval that disturb the foundational myths of settler belonging. Australia's Reconciliation agenda brought realities of colonial frontier violence and the scale of Aboriginal deaths to the fore of mainstream socio-political consciousness. Literary scholars have adapted Freud's concept of the uncanny to argue that settler belonging feels imperiled or strange when confronted with the distressing knowledge of Aboriginal modernity. Overwhelmingly, the manufacture of Aboriginal haunting in Australia's Reconciliation—era signifies settler anxiety and attempts to reclaim the authority unsettled by Indigenous alterity. Works by Henry Reynolds—Why Weren't We Told? (2000)—and Alex Miller-Journey to the Stone Country (2003)—are representative of a broader literary response to Reconciliation, after which depictions of Aboriginal death and burial, as well as new settler quests for belonging, proliferated. The essay concludes by reading Noongar writer Kim Scott's novel Taboo (2017) as a subversion of works like those by Reynolds and Miller.","PeriodicalId":46232,"journal":{"name":"Settler Colonial Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79723898","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}

It seeks to describe settler colonialism in terms of elimination, greif and dispossession. It argues that the waiata understands these concepts in very deep ways. The research utilises Whakaaro Based Philsophy and method to dissect the waiata for its philosophy and theory. This is done by exploring the literature on waiata, haka, and cultural memory as indigenous text and analysing the famous waiata tangi (lament) by Rangiamoa called ‘E Pā To Hau’ that was written in the aftermath of Rangiaowhia. A background on the events at Rangiaowhia is provided. Theoretically, it outlines the case for refering to ‘settler colonialism’ as ‘invader colonialism’ and the relationship of remembering to resistence. It also supports the call for terming the events at Rangiaowhia a ‘war crime’ as recently discussed in the media.","PeriodicalId":46232,"journal":{"name":"Settler Colonial Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87911792","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}

Forming networks of multidirectional linkages, these connections bridge local communities, nations, and empires and they connect the past with the present. Thus, settler colonialism moves within, between, and beyond nations and empires. It leaves its marks and impacts great powers and smaller states alike, while also shaping local communities and individual lives in a myriad of ways. This intricate and nuanced connectivity comes evident also in the articles of our present issue. While this set of articles spotlights the Middle East and Canada, it illustrates the workings of connected settler colonialism by underlining questions of sovereignty, identity, and belonging. Yara Sa’di-Ibraheem and Tovi Fenster provide a very personal story of replacement and dispossession in West Jerusalem. Focusing on one house in Jerusalem that was once a Palestinian family home, they elaborate on the intricate relationship of property in relation to identity and belonging. Jasmin Habib and Amir Locker-Biletzki in turn delve into the dynamics of Zionist settler culture by analyzing the songs of the Jewish-Israeli Communist youth movement. By focusing on communist youth, they interpret cracks and critique of a dominant settler colonial culture. Then the discussion shifts to Canada. Heather L. Elliott, Monica E. Mulrennan, and Alain Cuerrier take a closer look at the relationship between food insecurity and settler colonialism by focusing on the Food Secure Canada’s 2018 Assembly. Much like in the previous articles of this issue, here too contested identities, insecurities, and sovereignty operate at the core of networked phenomenon. Next article continues to map the contested connotations and connections of sovereignty, this time in relation to violence and the Quebec’s Viens Commission, set up in 2016 to investigate allegations of public abuse of Indigenous peoples. Here Trycia Bazinet examines how settler colonialism moves in the personal and the collective, and marks questions of identity and dispossession. Modern-day issues come with deep historical roots also in our article on settler colonial urbanism in Canada’s National Capital Region. Paul Sylvestre and Heather Castleden discuss entangled histories of racial capitalism and settler colonization, stressing how Algonquin people struggle to exercise jurisdiction over lands in the face of colonial invasion. This very local form of placeand race-making signified wider ramifications of the processes of settler colonization. So did Canada’s Treaty No. 6. By examining this treaty, Keavy Martin asks should we understand treaties as mere legal transactions or as marking the making of kinships, and as such central to the possibility of good relations in settler societies today. If kinship should be seen as much more than a metaphor","PeriodicalId":46232,"journal":{"name":"Settler Colonial Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84148518","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}

Its impetus arises from four years of solidarity work with Algonquin land defenders and accomplices struggling to reclaim Asinabka, an Algonquin sacred complex of islands and waterfalls in the Kitchissippi (Ottawa River) between the Canadian cities of Ottawa and Gatineau. Situating the current struggle within the 200 years of crisis and consolidation that produced the Ottawa Valley, we track the entwined histories of settler capitalists transforming Asinabka in response to the shifting demands of racial capitalism alongside the ceaseless effort by Algonquin people to exercise jurisdiction over the islands in the face of colonial incursion and theft. To do so, we read across 100 years of colonial archives in conjunction with settler historiographies of the lumber industry. We argue that while local in form, Asinabka’s transformations were constitutive of place- and race-making processes at a variety of scales and sites throughout Algonquin territory. We conclude by considering how traces of this history are recursively mobilized in the present to transform Asinabka into an investment property.","PeriodicalId":46232,"journal":{"name":"Settler Colonial Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87497874","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}

Taking up the editorship of an academic journal is arguably both a privilege and a responsibility. It calls for knowledge, energy and passion even. It allows a scholar to serve the profession, observe and scout for the latest exciting scholarship in a particular field, and network with scholars around the world. It garners an exceptional vantage point into the latest of scholarly trends and possibilities. But it also comes with expectations, a premise of delivering, of building and nurturing a community and advancing the reputation of your journal. In many ways serving as an editor is about taking care of the journal and its field. It is about encouraging all potential scholars to join in and contributing, especially those younger to the profession, but also the seasoned veterans. It is about providing a dynamic and safe environment for lively debates, varied opinions and different theoretical orientations and epistemologies. In the end, people matter, all those already working on settler colonial topics and themes, and those contemplating doing so in the future. Without the contributors, reviewers and readers there would be no Settler Colonial Studies. Taking on the editorship of this journal, we envision Settler Colonial Studies to develop further as a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary endeavor, attracting interest and submissions from multiple different academic disciplines, including, but not limited to, history, literature, Indigenous studies, areaand cultural studies, archeology, anthropology, environmental humanities, genocide studies and memory studies. We hope for engagements and entanglements. And we try to steer the journal toward exciting and more inclusive futures. Settler Colonial Studies navigates and addresses a fundamentally intersected and networked global reality, past and present, seeking to reflect and respond to it. It strives to be a global forum for nuanced and varied discussions, welcoming submissions from scholars regardless of their nationality, creed, race, ethnicity and gender. The articles in this issue reveal a vibrant field, of research operating on varying analytical scales from the local to the global. Demonstrating the geographical reach of settler colonialism, in this issue we track settler colonialism in the Middle-East, Northern Europe, South America, North America and Australia. We learn of infrastructures as sites of contest between empire and settlers in British Palestine before heading into more modern-day Israel/Palestine. There we have studies on labor and dispossession through incorporation as well as on the relationship of historical narratives and current activism. We also get to read about the use of language as a form of elimination in Chile and on the connections between immigrant material conditions and Indigenous dispossession in Canadian media.

Rather than focus on commonly-referenced settler states, such as Israel or America, this paper analyzes Morocco, where formal decolonization occurred through the end of the French Protectorate 1956, but there has been an ongoing settler colonial project in Western Sahara since 1975. The logic of elimination of Indigenous populations and territorial expansion of the settler polity endure through urban planning, documentation of the built environment, and architectural preservation. I argue that the structural logic of settler colonialism was produced by the convergence of French military strategy of domination during the Protectorate era was adapted through forms of knowledge and institutions shaping urban space through architectural preservation in contemporary Casablanca. I map the production of knowledge by French academics, then show how this knowledge shaped the preservation agenda that reproduced the structural logic of settler colonialism. The entanglement of institutions, forms of knowledge, and the applications of that knowledge by preservationists highlights how the structural logic of settler colonialism adapts to the changing conditions for settler colonial theory.","PeriodicalId":46232,"journal":{"name":"Settler Colonial Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77289228","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}

Based on an image and encounter during fieldwork in West Jerusalem, this article traces how a feeling of discomfort both confirms and challenges what we (think we) know about settler colonialism in Palestine/Israel. Rather than dismissing the moments when narratives, objects and exchanges generate unease, I suggest that exploring this ‘data’ attunes us to how settlers navigate the complex and contradictory conditions of coloniality – how they create resources for living. Structuralist accounts of settler colonialism are not fully capable of engaging this texture, even as they might invoke or attempt to harness emotion through mechanisms including the logic of elimination, settler indigenisation and heteropatriarchy. While thinking with this existing theory, I ask scholars and activists to consider what exceeds our dominant frames, following how affects spill over, attach and circulate among settler subjects in ways that have material consequences. This uneasy approach entails letting things play out, accepting our own implication in power and taking theorisation seriously as an ethical practice. At the same time, it is profoundly future-facing, enabling us to better identify what must be done as we work toward decolonial futures.","PeriodicalId":46232,"journal":{"name":"Settler Colonial Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77198645","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}

We analyze the ways Zionist settler culture has been both absorbed and negated by BANKI (Young Israeli Communist League). In an analysis of musical practices, as well as the lyrics of Israeli pseudo-folk songs, known colloquially as SLI (Songs of the Land of Israel), we discuss how BANKI members created their own Israeli national non-Zionist singing culture, and formed a singing culture that was both part of, as well as distinct from, the Socialist-Zionist youth movements.

Settler colonialism is increasingly recognized as a root cause of food insecurity for Indigenous Peoples on Turtle Island; it is also a key contributor to food insecurity experienced by Black people and people of color. The racialized exploitation of land and labor central to both settler colonialism and racial capitalism continue to form the backbone of the Canadian food system today, elucidating the important role food movements hold in the struggle for decolonization and racial justice. In this paper we present a case study of the (im)possibilities of white/settlers working towards Indigenous Food Sovereignty and food justice. By analyzing protests linked to Food Secure Canada’s 2018 Assembly, we find that an implicit reliance on representation may have limited the organization’s capacity for change. We propose that unsettling (un)learning, organizational transformation, and participation in broader anticolonial/anticapitalist struggle – what we are calling decolonial prefiguration – offers a more constructive path to decolonized futures that support food sovereignty and justice for all.","PeriodicalId":46232,"journal":{"name":"Settler Colonial Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86003354","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}

With Indigenous theories of relationality now informing many disciplines, how do white settler peoples take up the framework of kinship without using it only as a metaphor—and thereby as yet another tool of settler-colonial displacement? This essay examines this risk by considering the figurative use of kinship terms by Commissioner Alexander Morris at the negotiations for Treaty No. 6, in what is now Saskatchewan, Canada. Morris’s reliance on a borrowed vocabulary of kinship was, like his participation in the ceremony of the sacred pipestem, an invocation of relationality as a rhetorical device aimed at securing the ‘surrender’ of the lands. While metaphor is a figure that can mislead, coerce, or yoke, however, it can also make relationships, make things akin. In light of the continued relevance of the Indigenous legal framework known as treaty, this discussion takes up the possibility of kinship metaphors as not only figurative but also as literal, binding, and central to the possibility of good relations in the prairies today.","PeriodicalId":46232,"journal":{"name":"Settler Colonial Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77919042","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}
