ABSTRACT
This article offers a brief historical overview of colonisation, which is linked to the emergence of global modernity, capitalism, empire and racial regimes, and of decolonial and anticolonial mobilisations throughout the world. It argues that settler states are simultaneously the most historically foundational and the most currently urgent layers of decolonisation, tying dispossession of land to extraction of natural resources and therefore racial justice to environmental justice, and finally that completing the work of decolonisation will require making material and rhetorical links between indigenous resistance in North America and Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation.
