Red Skin, White Masks: Rejecting The Colonial Politics Of Recognition (Indigenous Americas) - Plot & Excerpts
Humanity installs each of its violences in a system of rules and thus proceeds from domination to domination. —Michel Foucault, “Nietzsche, Genealogy, History” For Hegel there is reciprocity; here the master laughs at the consciousness of the slave. What he wants from the slave is not recognition but work. —Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks My introductory chapter began by making two broad claims: first, I claimed that since 1969 we have witnessed the modus operandi of colonial power relations in Canada shift from a more or less unconcealed structure of domination to a form of colonial governance that works through the medium of state recognition and accommodation; and second, I claimed that regardless of this shift Canadian settler-colonialism remains structurally oriented around achieving the same power effect it sought in the pre1969 period: the dispossession of Indigenous peoples of their lands and self-determining authority.
