How Did Colonialism Dispossess? Comments from an Edge of Empire
An article that shows how the state, at the behest of capitalism and settlers, provided the framework for settler colonialism and the murderous state-capitalism alliance that rules our lives.

Posoh.
I’ve noticed that you folks still have an active link up to the resource library over at my old website The Speed of Dreams. That site is not defunct and most materials from it have been removed.
You can find the newer incarnation of the resource library over at Onkwehón:we Rising http://onkwehonwerising.wordpress.com/resources-for-study/basic-reading-list/
Great resources, thanks so much! I’m a student at Camosun, and haven’t been brought up learning about these types of things. I’m super interested in learning about how I can become less oppressive in my life, and links like this really help me get that info. Thanks!
unfortunately the links to colonialism on the ground and white supremacy culture do not work 😦
BMIS recently redid their site and likely changed the url’s, so i’ll fix the links if i can find the right new ones and/or upload them directly here at UA if they’re on my hd, which i think they likely are… thanks for the notification!
okay i *think* i fixed them, but lemme know if they or any other links are still not working for you! those and more can be found on the new BMIS resource page at http://supportblackmesa.org/take_action/anti-colonial-resources/
