Legitimacy, Accountability, and Belonging in the U.S. Settler State

Dina Gilio-Whitaker speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. The concern for injustice toward non-white European people distinguishes the left from the right in the United States. Dina Gilio-Whitaker discusses genocidal dispossession of Native lands as the U.S.’s “original sin” which Americans have yet to fully reckon with, and how justice can lead to a sense of legitimate belonging for all non-Indigenous people.
