Description: 

Only recently have Ethnic and Racial Studies and Indigenous Studies begun to engage in systematic dialogue about how the racial state has long functioned as a settler colonial state. This session explores how both historical and contemporary racial politics and social movements confront and resist the intertwined structures of settler colonialism and racial capitalism. It highlights the work of racialized social movements in exposing, challenging, and disrupting ongoing colonial violence, racialized dispossession, and carceral regimes.
