Solidarity, DeColonization, Migration, and Land

Day 2 June 18, 2024

The early 2000s saw an upsurge in the immigrant justice movement: Standing Rock and other indigenous-led struggles over land, resources, and the planet. Millions the world over have been displaced by war, repression, economic inequalities, and climate. These struggles and trends challenge humans to rethink the political and violent nature of “borders” as demarcations that contain and exclude. The Land Back movement has also foregrounded the history of settler colonialism and dispossession, as has the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST in Portuguese) in Brazil. This panel will explore the tactics, demands, and strategies of land and migration related to a justice agenda for the 21st century.
