There is nothing like the smell of books, both new and old. If someone ever bottled the smell, I would be all over it .

Gender functions as a discourse of violence on the landscapes of the frontier and the plantation for Native and Black women. The settler colonial category of female, specifically Native or Black female, references a genocide-able and rape-able body.

Tiffany King, “In the Clearing: Black Female Bodies, Space and Settler Colonial Spaces”

[fuck-the-conquistadores]

hello! i was wondering if you knew any good resources about settler colonialism and antiblackness in the U.S and how these things relate to each other?

  Yup, so here’s a list of a few with a summary of the topic addressed (Links to the articles/books are provided if I have them)

Fanon, Frantz – Black Skin, White Masks - Addresses the effects of (settler) colonialism on Native Africans in Algeria. Also a ur-text for a lot of contemporary Black Studies literature.

Fanon, Frantz – The Wretched of the Earth - Addresses the effects and processes of colonialism and its intersection with anti-Blackness/White Supremacy.

King, Tiffany – “Labor’s Aphasia: Toward Antiblackness as Constitutive to Settler Colonialism”  - Amazing article discussing how the metaphysics of labor are disarticulated by Blackness and how anti-Blackness was a necessary part of settler colonialism.

King, Tiffany – “In the Clearing: Black Female Bodies, Space and Settler Colonial Landscapes” - Probably the best work in this list. King addresses how anti-Blackness shapes settler colonialism and how settler colonialism shapes anti-Blackness. It’s one of the better intersections of Black Studies and Native American Studies, in my opinion.

Sexton, Jared – “The Vel of Slavery: Tracking the Figure of the Unsovereign - Addresses the flaws in Native American Studies attempt to understand settler colonialism and how Blackness makes settler decolonization problematic. 

Wilderson, Frank B., III – Red, White, and Black: Cinema and the Structure of U.S. Antagonisms - Not all about the intersection, but the first three parts do address, to some degree, the intersections between Blackness and Redness.

Tuck, Eve, Allison Guess, and Hannah Sulton – “Not Nowhere: Collaborating on Selfsame Land”  - Interesting work on how Blackness can create a place of meaning. A work on the Black/Land Project.

Jackson, Shona N. - “Humanity Beyond the Regime of Labor: Antiblackness, Indigeneity, and the Legacies of Colonialism in the Caribbean” - Discusses how Black people can participate in anti-Red/Settler colonial systems and the problems of working through a labor discourse.

I imagine and theorize the Sacred as knowledge gained or a way of knowing—epistemology—that recognizes an intimate connection to the other people with whom you are conducting the ceremony. The sacred in the context of this chapter functions as the knowledge or knowing that your survival as a Black woman is inseparable from her survival as a Native woman. This knowledge of interconnection is also not accessed alone. Knowledge cannot always be gained through systematic reasoning. Western thought patterns and problem solving strategies are at times insufficient. This kind of knowledge cannot be accessed from a book. This knowledge is co-produced and requires other bodies to access it.
