Episode 173: Settler Memory: The Disavowal of Indigeneity and the Politics of Race
Subscribe via:
Settler Memory: The Disavowal of Indigeneity and the Politics of Race in the United States (University of North Carolina Press 2021) is about the displacement of Indigeneity in the discourse around race in American political theory.
The book specifically touches on settler memory and acknowledging the history of Indigenous peoples in colonialism, and then disavowing the active presence of settler colonialism and Indigenous politics in the present.
Am and Kevin discuss how Black theorists, like James Baldwin, discuss indigeneity in their politics, and how tensions can arise between different conceptions of land, history, and identity. Kevin鈥檚 overall project is to link antiracism with anticolonialism, which shows through in the conversation.
