“…Land invasions by indigenous groups also have taken place in Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, and Colombia. Other SD indigenous movements beyond Latin America also rely on land invasions as a resistance tactic, including Native Canadians (Borrows, 2005), Native Americans (Wetzel, 2009), and aboriginal people in Australia and New Zealand (Cox et al, 2016).…”

This article introduces MACEDA, a micro-level dataset on the self-determination (SD) conflict between the Chilean state and the indigenous Mapuche. Although SD disputes are one of the most common conflicts in the world, and indigenous movements represent about 40% of all SD movements, this is the first micro-dataset focused on an indigenous SD conflict. MACEDA covers the period 1990–2016, including more than 2,600 events collected from local media. As indigenous conflicts are much less violent in terms of casualties, we take a flexible definition of conflict, based on its constituent events, and we discuss the comparability and generalization of our approach. To illustrate the usefulness of these micro-data in the analysis of conflict-related theories, we present a descriptive empirical analysis on the strategies of indigenous resistance, and we discuss how the data can be used in the causal analysis of conflicts.

“…The settlement comprises recognition through an Act of Parliament that the Noongar people are the traditional owners of the region, as well as a package of land and benefits amounting to approximately A$ 1.3bn (McCagh, ). A highly complex settlement (see Kelly and Bradfield, ; ; McCagh, ; Cox et al ., ), its outcome will see freehold and some reserves land transferred to the Noongar people in exchange for the extinguishment of their native title over the rest of their traditional territory. Indeed, the requirement to agree to extinguishment of native title caused significant controversy within the Noongar Nation itself.…”

In the conspicuously geographical debate between ‘North’ and ‘South’ urbanism, settler colonial cities remain displaced. They are located in the ‘North’ but embody ‘South‐like’ colonial dynamics and are hence neither colonial nor postcolonial. Heeding the call to theorize from ‘any city’, this article aims to contribute to a more systematic theorization of the urban from settler colonial cities. In it we focus on the work property does to materialize the settler colonial city and its specific relations of power. We identify three faces of property—as object, as redress and as land—and use case vignettes from Israel/Palestine and Australia to consider how each register continues to inform the functioning of settler colonial cities. We find that, through property, dispossession and settlement are continuously performed and creatively enacted. At the same time, the performance of property reaffirms the endurance of Indigenous land systems amid ongoing colonization. The article makes a contribution to contemporary debates in urban studies about the importance of surfacing the specificities of urban experiences around the world, while further unsettling the dissociative nature of urban property.

“…Similarly, Emily O'Gorman's (2016) critical analysis of the pelican slaughter of 1911 in the Coorong lagoon in South Australia reveals the intimate role of animals and environments in the co-shaping of legal geographies. The hybridity of legal worlds is also shown vividly in historical-geographical work around protest and occupation (see Cox et al, 2016). Briony McDonagh and Carl Griffin (2016) discuss issues of protest, trespass and occupation through a historical lens in order to carve spaces for new solidarities in the contemporary world.…”

Historical geography III: Hope persists

The final report in this series turns to focus on the emerging intersections between historical geography, archaeology and the law. Whilst staying attuned to the darkest of geographies emerging from the sub-field, this report turns its attention to the creative and critical ways in which the dead are being used to reveal past lives and worlds that have been destroyed and forgotten. Using soil and the archaeological imagination as a pivot, this report centres on the interweaving themes of fragile environments, resurfacing and legal worlds in order to suggest the emerging possibilities for a hopeful excavation of new historical geographies.
