Abstract:
In this article, we call on linguistic anthropology to combat specific modes of White Supremacy (anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, and anti-Nativeness). We speak to and from particular legacies of dispossession and repossession engendered by two mated and enduring structural processes, settler colonialism (Simpson 20XX) and racial slavery (Hartman 20XX; Sharpe 20XX; Mignolo 20XX), which continue to animate the ubiquity of owning via the making of (linguistic) anthropological knowledge and via the knowing, collecting, and wearing of Black and Native people that helps make up everyday life (e.g., mascots, blackface, pop cultural caricatures, Halloween costumes, language appropriation, slave souvenirs, dream catchers and on and on. Finally, we draw on Black and Native theorists to offer practices of solidarities and abolition (Byrd 20XX; Harris 20XX; Latty et. al 20XX; Leroy 20XX; King 20XX; Tuck et. al 20XX; Morrill et al. 20XX).
