Territorial Acknowledgment in Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò’s “Reconsidering Reparations”

I have a lot to say about this book, and a lot to think about in terms of how I’d like to use Táíwò’s work in Indigenous Studies, and more broadly in my Indigenous Futurisms work – but for now I’ll be honing in on one particular section of the […]
