By addressing significant cases of European radical ‘allies’ of anticolonial movements in the years of African and Caribbean independences, this work proposes new geographies of decolonisation based on the study of transnational and multilingual circuits of committed intellectuals who proposed socialistic and/or federalistic solutions for decolonisation well beyond national independence. The paper is based on the huge archives of two French intellectuals, Jean Suret-Canale and Daniel Guérin, who represented very different tendencies in the anticolonial Leftist circuits that gathered in Paris. The core of the dying French colonial empire, Paris was also a global hub for refugees and diasporic anticolonial/antiracist activists in the 1950s and 1960s. I make the case for reconsidering ideas that were not listened in difficult historical contexts (namely the Algerian War and the Cold War) but can still inspire current conversations. Drawing on the heterogeneous non-state and federalist proposals of French-speaking radicals, including authors such as Albert Camus and Cheikh Anta Diop, I stress the need of rediscovering non-nationalistic and non-communitarian ideas of decolonisation which allow de-essentialising identities and considering pluralistic ‘worlds’ as inspirations for inclusive views of decolonisation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103322"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143799982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historically linked to decolonization processes and post-imperial transformations of the international system, self-determination has espoused both violent and non-violent resistance, and supported both existing and emergent sovereignty. With the Janus-faced relationship between self-determination and colonialism continuing to this day, the contemporary moment is an opportune time to take stock of self-determination. However, as conventional jurisprudence and international legalism framings have, in many ways, hampered its emancipatory potential, alternative ways of reimagining self-determination are needed. Bringing together scholars from the fields of political and development geography, indigenous studies, international relations, and sociology, this intervention demonstrates how articulations of self-determination in specific sites offer powerful critiques of the state system and the liberal world order and unsettle hegemonic forms of knowledge production. These articulations open up conceptual space to push self-determination beyond the realm of rights, allowing us to reimagine self-determination as a vision and practice, and to recover and reconceptualize the hopeful, emancipatory and aspirational politics that have always underpinned self-determination. This intervention seeks to re-envision self-determination from three novel and interlinked angles: decoloniality, intersectionality, and relationality. Drawing on a range of examples of contemporary and historical self-determination claims and contestations, each author focuses on one or more of these angles to examine the extent to which current practices of and visions for self-determination engender novel understandings of emancipation from ‘foreign’ domination and/or colonial systems of governance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 103112"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140780927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Against the backdrop of President Denis Sassou Nguesso's enduring authoritarian rule and intensified repression following the 2015–2016 elections, Congolese resisters are transforming domestic and sacred spaces such as private homes and churches into terrains of resistance. Through empirical research and drawing on theories of everyday resistance, spatial strategies, and slow resistance, the paper reveals how these terrains of resistance have endured even after overt protests subsided. It argues that understanding the spatialities of resistance in Congo-Brazzaville requires examining how Congolese navigate and subvert state power through subtle, everyday acts of resistance that exploit the spatial dynamics of authoritarian control. The findings highlight the emotional, spatial, and temporal dimensions of resistance, illuminating how these practices contribute to the gradual construction of oppositional political consciousness that reconfigures power relations over time. By examining these spatio-temporal practices of resistance, the paper challenges narratives of political apathy under Sassou's rule and contributes to the rich scholarship of critical political geography and resistance studies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103320"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143724932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on ethnographic and participatory research, the article illustrates how <em>Pa'l Norte</em> is both a tangible and imagined destination that encompasses diverse relational intimacies, including safety, hope, love, fear, and trauma. Assuming a geopolitically produced gender exclusion in crossing borders, it explores how changes in infrastructure and migration policies since 2020, including the halt of <em>la Bestia</em>, a transpacific cargo train frequently used by migrants, along with transnational migration governance aimed at preventing northbound movement, have influenced people's (dis) ability move in southern Mexico, perpetuating historical exclusions and violence, including the erosion of women's bodily autonomy.

Asylum and refugee camps – both formal and informal – are growing in size and scope, becoming more permanent features on their respective landscapes. Our attention in this article is focused on the space of the camp itself, which has long been marked by profoundly unequal relations of power. A common theme that characterizes camps, whether operated by the UNHCR or any other group, is that of control exercised over the inhabitants’ daily lives, routines, and mobilities. In this article, we consider what the reality of camp life looks like for those within them, drawing on the voices of the (multiple) dispossessed and how they experience everyday life in these places. Our argument is not that camps represent spaces of control; that much is both self-evident and confirmed by much scholarship through the years. Drawing on interviews with camp residents –both refugees and asylum seekers–across different regions and displaced by different contexts, we look at some of the key features that characterize life within the camp, that illustrate what forms control might take, and also indicate the ways in which camp residents seek to actively resist and transform those regimes of control.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103316"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143628167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
