In this lively conversation with Malu Castro, we embark on an intriguing exploration of land organization and sustainability, with a primary focus on Hawaii. Castro's fascinating transformation from an orchestrator of professional revolutionaries to an investigator of land and indigenous rights offers a fresh perspective on the unique challenges and paradoxical situations that have arisen as a result of historical policies. We delve into the complexity of Native Hawaiian identity, the impact of the Dawes Act of 1887, and the profound implications of colonial power on economic and land relations.
As we broaden our discussion, we confront Marx's contradictions and the intersection of politics, identity, and land. We grapple with the historical effects of colonialism on land relations, and how these have facilitated the displacement and elimination of indigenous populations. The conversation further extends to the significant need to incorporate local and indigenous politics into our overall political comprehension, thereby bridging the divide between settler and indigenous conceptions.
In the final part of our discussion, we reflect on the enlightening journey we've taken with Castro. We probe into the intricate connection between politics, land, and identity, and the harsh realities of colonial policies that indigenous populations face. In conclusion, we ponder on the far-reaching impacts of industrial production on environments and the potential of subsistence as a more sustainable method of supporting people. Join us for a deep dive into an enlightening discussion that is bound to challenge your perspectives and enhance your understanding.
K. Malulani "Malu" Castro is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan's School for Environment and Sustainability. He is also a former union organizer. We talk about how we may need to change our ideas about organizing to allow for different land relationships with socialism. We also talk about the work of Dr. Glen Coulthard, particularly "Red Skins, White Masks."
