As early as the 1780s, George Washington wrote that using "force of arms" to drive American Indians "out of their Country" was less effective than "the gradual extension of our Settlements," which would cause "the Savage as the Wolf to retire."…”

Land-grant colleges were created in the mid-nineteenth century when the federal government sold off public lands and allowed states to use that money to create colleges. The land that was sold to support colleges was available because of a deliberate project to dispossess American Indians of land they inhabited. By encouraging westward migration, touting the “civilizing” influence of education, emphasizing agricultural and scientific education to establish international strength, and erasing Native rights and history, the land-grant colleges can be seen as an element of settler colonialism. Native American dispossession was not merely an unfortunate by-product of the establishment of land-grant colleges; rather, the colleges exist only because of a state-sponsored system of Native dispossession.

“…As Wolfe (:401) contends, while various strategies may appear “softer” than others—and one may indeed argue that the NTA is a “soft” tool of recognition—it does not make their intention any less eliminatory. This is because they are all underpinned by what Wolfe refers to as “the logic of elimination, which, in its specificity to settler colonialism, is premised on the securing—the obtaining and the maintaining—of territory” (2006:402), which as Wolfe argues, “is an organizing principal of settler‐colonial society rather than a one‐off (and superseded) occurrence” (2006:388) and thus shares a contemporary salience with Harvey's critique of Marx's theory of primitive accumulation as temporally fixed (Lloyd and Wolfe ).…”

The changes in regulation of mineral development on Indigenous people's lands, wrought by the advent of native title in Australia, created an impression that the political economy of mining on Indigenous people's lands would be fundamentally transformed. In this paper we argue, in reality, a deeply seated settler‐colonial mentality endures in Australia within the institutions presiding over mineral governance, particularly in those States that are heavily dependent upon resource extraction. Focusing on the governance of mineral development in Queensland, Australia, we offer an analysis of the rationalities that inform the endurance of an inequitable architecture of extractive governance in that State. Our conceptual framework draws on a synthesis of the concepts of “accumulation by dispossession”, “settler colonialism”, and Indigenous critiques of the politics of recognition, to argue that liberal states remain deeply committed to the facilitation of mineral development on Indigenous people's lands in direct contravention to international norms.

“…It reshapes critiques of capitalist and colonial social relationsin which the dispossession of the native is an ongoing and ceaseless featureto give it moral parameters, through which to assert and entrench its legitimacy. 11 Understanding this has crucial bearing on how we shape our analysis of the proliferation of Israel Studies programmes across university campuses, as well as our contention that anticolonial praxis, grounded in indigenous epistemologies and movements, is key to challenging settler colonial knowledge production.…”

Knowledge production in, for and by a settler-colonial state hinges on both productive and repressive practices that work together to render its history and present, 'normal'. The settler state aims to maintain hegemony over its agents, subjects, supporters and challengers by controlling, how, where, to and through whom it tells its story. This makes the production and dissemination of knowledge production an important battleground for anti-colonial counter-hegemonic struggles. The State of Israel, in its ongoing search for patrons and partners in its colonising project in the Middle East, is especially focused on how to produce and appropriate 'knowledge', and the arenas in which it is developed and shared, to this purpose. In so doing, it works to reshape critique of its political, social and economic relationsin which the dispossession of the native is a ceaseless featureand redefine the moral parameters that inform its legitimacy and entrench its irrefutability. Inspired by existing literature on and examples of anti-colonial struggles and practices of decolonisation, this paper investigates and challenges the myriad modalities through which Israel produces and normalises the colonial narrative. By critiquing existing representations and framings of the Israeli stateand the spaces and structures in which these take holdour article contributes to the range of scholarship and communities of scholars working to radically recalibrate knowledge of 'Israel' and 'Palestine'. As part of this work, the article deliberately and purposefully centres indigenous anti-colonial frameworks that reconnect intellectual analysis of settler colonial relations, with political engagements in the practice/praxis of liberation and decolonisation. Keywords Israel Studies; Indigenous and Settler Colonial Studies; hegemony and counter hegemony; critical pedagogy; anti-colonial/decolonising praxis passions it evokes often present obstacles to balanced analysis and evenhanded discussion. In the six decades since its founding, the State of Israel has spawned a vibrant culture and a multiethnic democracy. It has also faced ongoing challenges and has had to grapple with complex geopolitical issues. An appreciation of the complexities that are Israel requires knowledge, probing analysis and dialogue across different disciplines and viewpoints.

In the first of these, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, stands on the UN stage, selling the image of Israel as the stable bastion of 'civilisation' in the Middle East to a global audience; a part of the world that Western/US audiences have positioned as the 'heart of darkness' in their global imaginary. In the second, UCLA's Israel Studies ...
