Abstract
“Indigeneity, Settler Colonialism and White Supremacy”
Native studies has generally centered its analysis around the logics of settler colonialism with inadequate attention to the logics of white supremacy. Meanwhile critical race studies has generally analyzed Native peoples under the rubric of race rather than colonialism. In this talk, I will assess how a conversation between Native studies and critical race studies might impact both fields by analyzing settler colonialism in conjunction with white supremacy.
This topic will be presented on Saturday, April 18th at 9:00 a.m. as part of the Panel III discussion "Shifting Racializations, Violence and the Nation."
