Abstract:
This talk explores Indigenous and Indian听diasporic relations that exist within and across the听afterlives of imperialism in what is known as Canada听and theorizes dominant caste Indian听diasporic complicities in ongoing colonization of听Indigenous nations and lands. Foregrounding the听transnational intersections of race, caste, and听indigeneity, the talk draws from research in sites of听resource extraction, logging and canneries in British听Columbia in the 1970s-90s and the tar sands in听Alberta presently, and theorizes these sites as听simultaneous spaces of intimacies and complicities.
