Inside Tenement Time

Suss, Spirit, and Surveillance

Rutgers University Press

Inside Tenement Time is a study of Jamaican literary and cultural texts presenting surveillance in the Caribbean. The project introduces two Afro-Indigenous variations on surveillance--sussveillance and spiritveillance--as exemplars of vernacular arts and shows that Caribbean hegemonies are flexible. The book reads the Smile Jamaica concert (1976) and the Tivoli Incursion (2010) as states of high surveillance emergency.

Unsettling Mobility

Mediating Mi'kmaw Sovereignty in Post-contact Nova Scotia

The University of Arizona Press

Since contact, attempts by institutions such as the British Crown and the Catholic Church to assimilate indigenous peoples have served to mark those people as “Other” than the settler majority. In Unsettling Mobility, Michelle A. Lelièvre examines how mobility has complicated, disrupted, and—at times—served this contradiction at the core of the settler colonial project. Drawing on archaeological, ethnographic, and archival fieldwork conducted with the Pictou Landing First Nation—one of thirteen Mi’kmaw communities in Nova Scotia—Lelièvre argues that, for the British Crown and the Catholic Church, mobility has been required not only for the settlement of the colony but also for the management and conversion of the Mi’kmaq.

How Indigeneity Shapes the State
