Description

What do local conflicts about land rights let us know about Indigenous-settler relations and the challenges and chances of decolonization? In Unsettled Expectations, Eva Mackey draws on ethnographic case studies about land rights conflicts in Canada and the U.S. to argue that important analysis of present-day disputes over land, belonging and sovereignty will lend a hand us take into account how colonization is reproduced these days and easy methods to challenge it. Employing theoretical approaches from Indigenous and settler colonial studies, and within the context of important historical and legal analysis, Mackey urges us to rethink the assumptions of settler certainty that underpin current conflicts between settlers and Indigenous peoples and reveals settler privilege to be a doomed fantasy of entitlement.

Finally, Mackey draws on case studies of Indigenous-settler alliances to show how embracing difficult uncertainty can also be an integral a part of undoing settler privilege and a step toward decolonization.
