In Beyond Settler Time Mark Rifkin investigates the dangers of seeking to include Indigenous peoples within settler temporal frameworks. Claims that Native peoples should be recognized as coeval with Euro-Americans, Rifkin argues, implicitly treat dominant non-native ideologies and institutions as the basis for defining time itself. How, though, can Native peoples be understood as dynamic and changing while also not assuming that they belong to a present inherently shared with non-natives? Drawing on physics, phenomenology, queer studies, and postcolonial theory, Rifkin develops the concept of "settler time" to address how Native peoples are both consigned to the past and inserted into the present in ways that normalize non-native histories, geographies, and expectations. Through analysis of various kinds of texts, including government documents, film, fiction, and autobiography, he explores how Native experiences of time exceed and defy such settler impositions. In underscoring the existence of multiple temporalities, Rifkin illustrates how time plays a crucial role in Indigenous peoples' expressions of sovereignty and struggles for self-determination.Indians of North AmericaColonizationIndians, Treatment ofUnited StatesHistoryTime perceptionGeographical perceptionUnited StatesHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775Indians of North AmericaColonization.Indians, Treatment ofHistory.Time perception.Geographical perception.970.004/97Rifkin Mark1974-1200363NDDNDDBOOK9910162711203321Beyond settler time2833133UNINA
