Description: 

Only recently have Ethnic and Racial Studies and Indigenous Studies engaged in sustained dialogue about how the racial state has functioned as a settler colonial state. This session examines how 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 movements in exposing, challenging, and disrupting ongoing colonial violence, racialized dispossession, and carceral regimes.
