“…News media are a form of geographical knowledge that reflect colonial state craft, including border regulation that enrolls digital technologies to proliferate and perform border imaginaries, and subjectivities (Amoore, 2018;Jones, 2014;Sui and Zhao, 2015). Cedric J Robinson calls this logic of regulating the social relations of Black liberation movements in the name of state security "the terms of order" (Robinson, 1980). Indeed, the pursuit for knowledge through the development of technology and digitality did not evolve into its current instituted, networked, and racialized form for knowledge's sake but rather was always oriented to crush liberation movements across difference and geography (Gilmore and Gilmore, 2013;Jefferson, 2020).…”

Geography as a discipline is entangled in settler colonial regimes that continue to shape geographic practice and the boundaries of geographical knowledge. Digital technologies play an instrumental role in shaping the view of geography and sociospatial relations. This paper traces the construction of the settler imaginary in geographic thought through scholarship in digital geographies and anticolonialism. By bridging anticolonial scholarship in digital geographies, this paper contributes to debates on anticolonial and decolonial refusal politics and its role in realizing reciprocal land-life relations. The (re)imagining of digital knowledge politics begins with accountable digital geographic practices on the terms of Indigenous peoples’.

“…The circularity of it all uniquely sets up the claim of the ingroup, now representative of the whole, to deny affinity with any other collection of people while simultaneously claiming their universal role as the foundation upon which all those collections base their value (Wilderson, 2020). It also makes it easier to extinguish general protest against the status quo by cutting off the representative head which has already done the work of silencing those they represent (Robinson, 1980). So why the backlash to the sort of treatment applied above?…”

The Underside of Order: Race in the Constitution of International Order

While there is increasing recognition of the role of race in shaping global politics, the extent to which the construction and operation of international order is entangled with race remains underexplored. In this article, I argue for the centrality of race and racialization in understanding the constitution of international order by theorizing the constitutive connections between race and international order and showing how the two can be examined as intertwined. I do this, first, by articulating conceptualizations of both international order and race that center on processes of regulation and regularization. Second, I bring these together to suggest that race be understood as a form of order that functions to reproduce a historically emergent form of hierarchy and domination across a range of spaces and contexts. Third, I operationalize these conceptualizations by outlining and historicizing some of the key features of this racialized and racializing international order, specifically coloniality, the racial state, and racial capitalism, and thereby illustrate important aspects of the persistence of this order. Centering race in the study of international order, I suggest, helps us better understand how racializing hierarchies and racialized inequalities persist in the present and are reproduced through structures and practices of international order.
