| Popis: |
The authors draw upon Agamben’s “bare life” and “zones of exception” to analyse the denial of human rights to the Indigenous Anishinaabe community of Shoal Lake 40 in Canada, particularly the right to clean drinking water and an accessible all-weather road into and out of the artificially made colonial island to which the community was relocated more than a century ago. Drawing on Hewitt’s “compounding differences” and Roman’s “relational genealogies” and “medicalized colonialism”, they reject the flattening metaphor of intersectionality to explain how the present conjuncture of Shoal Lake’s 40’s struggles can be understood. The authors argue for prioritizing “Global Souths within the Global Norths” within Disability Studies as both scholarship and activism. Finally, the essay discusses the public pedagogical implications of Shoal Lake 40’s campaign for water rights and “Freedom Road” as exemplary for effective social justice work. |
