Question # 4
In his chapter, Andrés Henao Castro draws on Wolfe’s (2013, p. 266) definition of settler colonialism as “being continuous across time, as structure rather than event” and on Day’s (2016, p. 27) view that settler colonialism made 1) land the primary relationship between colonizers and indigenous peoples, and 2) labor the primary relationship between settlers and enslaved Africans transported to the Americas. Following the claims on settler colonialism as a structure, rather than an event, what is the relationship between decolonization and the order of human rights? Are these two political projects ultimately antagonistic (opposed or incompatible)?
