Indigenous Dispossession, Anti-Immigration, and the Public Pedagogy of US Empire: Race and Mediated Cultures
Autor Leah Perryen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 iul 2024
From the founding of the United States, enduringly consequential debates over Indigeneity and immigration have occurred on the battlefield and in Congress, in courtrooms, at territorial borders, and in mainstream culture. In Indigenous Dispossession, Anti-Immigration, and the Public Pedagogy of US Empire, Leah Perry traces the ways that the US created its empire through public pedagogies—which she defines as policy and media discourses—surrounding Indigenous dispossession, gendered state violence, and racialized immigration. These pedagogies have propelled the expansion of US empire, including the redrawing of the US as a neoliberal democracy. Perry argues that by changing the discourse around gender, race, immigration, and Indigeneity, the United States has continued its imperial project through different eras, always predicated on Indigenous dispossession. In exploring crucial components of empire, such as welfare, eugenics, disability, sexual violence, foodways, queerness, and policing, Perry interrogates violence against Indigenous peoples and against immigrants, examining these not independently—as is so often the case—but as co-constitutive. Indigenous Dispossession, Anti-Immigration, and the Public Pedagogy of US Empire thus intervenes in and fills a gap in immigration studies, Indigenous studies, race and ethnic studies, gender and sexuality studies, and US history.

Recenzii
"This well-written study draws on various area studies to demonstrate how the structures of settler colonialism remain. A worthwhile intervention in interdisciplinary studies." —Jennifer Nez Denetdale (Diné), author of Reclaiming Diné History: The Legacies of Navajo Chief Manuelito and Juanita
"Perry offers a nuanced exploration of the intricate interconnections between Indigenous displacement, racialized anti-immigration agendas, and the enduring mechanisms of US empire across North American history. Through meticulous analysis of policy and media, Perry uncovers the entangled narratives shaping American identity and power structures." —C. Joseph Genetin-Pilawa, coeditor of Beyond Two Worlds: Critical Conversations on Language and Power in Native North America

Extras
Policy and mainstream media discourses provided powerful teachings and lessons—public pedagogy—to people within and outside of US borders about gender and racial inclusion and capitalism, democratic progress, and justice, as well as about the need to also safeguard US citizens and resources from undocumented im/migrants, gendered and racialized as “illegal aliens,” and from those gendered and racialized as “alien” within. Unseen in this ascensionist version of US history is the Indigenous genocide and dispossession providing the preconditions for gendered, sexualized, and racialized capitalism founded on and persisting in Black fungibility; the repetition of the frontier myths of battling Native “savages” and “civilizing”/incorporating them that regimes of racialized immigrant exclusion and inclusion expand upon; and pedagogies of empire that persistently dispossess Indigenous peoples and manage differentially racialized groups to protect and advance white possession. As the editors of Economies of Dispossession argue, “Racialization—manifesting in systemic and everyday forms of devaluation, exploitation, and expendability, as well as the violence of racial terror and carceral regimes—and ongoing colonial modes of settlement, occupation, governmentality, and jurisprudence work in tandem with more capacious forms of US global militarism and empire. Colonialism and racial capitalism “have been historically co-constitutive and are of necessity together confronted by Indigenous peoples and the racially subordinated.” Moreover, unraveling the racial relations of colonialism and capitalism is necessary to understanding decolonization and abolition.
Examining policy and media from colonization into the early twenty-first century in understudied areas and foregrounding Indigenous dispossession and racialized anti-immigration as it relates to and intersects with it, I argue that via various forms of public pedagogy, both gendered, sexualized coloniality and racialized anti-immigration underpin the foundation and development, the mapping and remapping, of US empire, including the redrawing of the US as a neoliberal multicultural democracy. I analyze significant policy for Indigenous peoples and im/migrants and media (including novels, plays, film, television, music videos, news media, and emergent media) produced in the shadow of policy, uncovering, tracing, and connecting the historical throughline of pedagogies of empire. Debates over Indigeneity and immigration occurred not only on the battlefield, on the congressional floor, in the courtroom, and at territorial borders (of reservations; of urban, rural, and suburban areas; of the nation-state and its noncontinental colonies) but also in US American culture, providing powerful, accessible public pedagogy about gender, sexuality, race, democracy, and justice to citizens, denizens, and “aliens.” These debates appear in early colonists’ diaries and into the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in captivity narratives; dime novels; Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show; plays about immigrant assimilation like The Melting Pot; silent films like S— Man, Birth of a Nation, and Broken Blossoms; and sensationalistic news media. Debates continue to surface in various media. Over time, developments have always occurred proximally, the imperatives of settler colonialism applied to Indigenous peoples and people of color in different but always entangled ways to support white possessive empire. With relational frameworks and analytics that synthesize the gendered, sexualized relationship of Indigenous dispossession and the differential racialization of multiple groups of immigrants, this book builds on scholarship that examines the co-constitution of colonialism and racial capitalism to intervene in critical immigration and race studies and critical Indigenous studies (CIS). I aim to illuminate how and why, in the ascendant neoliberal conjecture as historically, Indigenous peoples and differentially racialized immigrants were at the center of major policy changes and media that formed and furthered US empire.
