Decolonization, Islam, Palestine & Turtle Island

From Muhammad Abdou's facebook
October 11, 2023

...Decolonization is an inherently violent, yes, but it's also a spiritual act in restoring neocolonialism's disfiguring impact on the native's racialized, sexualized, gendered, material, historical, symbolic, political, and spiritual relationship to our mother earth, non-humxn life and land (that are also spiritual subjects not objects). While i understand the many impulses in secularizing Palestine and claiming that it isn't a religious struggle (myself having been involved in diasporic Palestinian organizing for over 22 years in Turtle Island) i never agreed with this approach.

Chiara Bottici: Anarchafeminism

via autonomies

[T]here is hardly any publication in the field today that does not engage with the concept of intersectionality — whether to promote it, to criticize it, or simply to position oneself with regards to it. Yet, strikingly enough, in all the literature engaging with intersectionality, there is barely any mention of the feminist tradition of the past that has been claiming exactly the same point for a very long time: anarchist feminism, or as I prefer to call it “anarchAfeminism.” The latter term has been introduced by social movements trying to feminize the concept, and thereby give visibility to a specifically feminist strand within the anarchist theory and practice. This anarchafeminist tradition, which has largely been neglected both in the academia and in public debate more in general, has a particular vital contribution to offer today.
