"Using Marx’s theory of commodity fetishism, it thus contends that care ethics risks treating care as a fetish, obscuring the systemic inequalities and inherent contradictions embedded in caregiving." doi.org/10.1177/1464...

Not so long ago. “Despite guarantees of food aid in times of famine in Treaty No. 6, Canadian officials used food, or rather denied food, as a means to ethnically cleanse a vast region from Regina to the Alberta border as the Canadian Pacific Railway took shape.”

Book cover. CLEARING THE PLAINS: DISEASE, POLITICS OF STARVATION, AND THE LOSS OF INDIGENOUS LIFE. by JAMES DASCHUK. WINNER: Sir John A. Macdonald Prize, Aboriginal History Prize, Clio Prize. OPENING BY NIIGAANWEWIDAM JAMES SINCLAIR. FOREWORD BY ELIZABETH A. FENN. Sir John A. Macdonald, acting as both prime minister and minister of Indian affairs during the darkest days of the famine, even boasted that the indigenous population was kept on the "verge of actual starvation," in an attempt to deflect criticism that he was squandering public funds. Within a generation, aboriginal bison hunters went from being the "tallest in the world," due to the quality of their nutrition, to a population so sick, they were believed to be racially more susceptible to disease. With this belief that aboriginal people were inherently unwell, their marginalization from mainstream Canada was, in a sense, complete.What we didn't know at the time was that a key aspect of preparing the land was the subjugation and forced removal of indigenous communities from their traditional territories, essentially clearing the plains of aboriginal people to make way for railway construction and settlement. Despite guarantees of food aid in times of famine in Treaty No. 6, Canadian officials used food, or rather denied food, as a means to ethnically cleanse a vast region from Regina to the Alberta border as the Canadian Pacific Railway took shape. For years, government officials withheld food from aboriginal people until they moved to their appointed reserves, forcing them to trade freedom for rations. Once on reserves, food placed in ration houses was withheld for so long that much of it rotted while the people it was intended to feed fell into a decades-long cycle of malnutrition, suppressed immunity and sickness from tuberculosis and other diseases. Thousands died.

My new open-access article in International Political Sociology is about “visual politics”, a growing subfield of International Relations. It considers how visual politics is structured to ignore race and racism and why it shouldn’t. academic.oup.com/ips/article/...

The Racial Visual Imaginary of International Relations

Abstract. Visual politics is a thriving subfield of international relations (IR) that traces its origin to the “visual turn” at the turn of the century. Ho

Centrists are beginning to call for an uprising against Donald Trump. Yet they helped create this situation by working to suppress the powerful social movements of the past decade. To involve enough people, any movement against Trump will have to address the material needs of the oppressed.
