Leigh Patel's No Study Without Struggle is essential reading for anti-racists working in higher education。 There was something on pretty much every page that I highlighted。 My previous knowledge of colonization regarded colonial states， where colonizers would extract resources and then leave。 Settler colonialism is， like in the U。S。， where colonizers came and stayed， and still depend on white supremacy and structural racism。 Settler colonialism requires acquisition of large amounts of private pr Leigh Patel's No Study Without Struggle is essential reading for anti-racists working in higher education。 There was something on pretty much every page that I highlighted。 My previous knowledge of colonization regarded colonial states， where colonizers would extract resources and then leave。 Settler colonialism is， like in the U。S。， where colonizers came and stayed， and still depend on white supremacy and structural racism。 Settler colonialism requires acquisition of large amounts of private property and treating humans as property， not people。 Some ways this plays out in higher ed， as Patel articulates， are the acquisition of native lands to house universities。 These "land grant institutions，" such as the one I work for， obfuscate and erase the presence and identity of native people on whose land their structures are built， as well as the labor of enslaved， racialized， or incarcerated people whose bodies build and work the campuses。Students and faculty are not free from encountering settler colonialism。 Any minoritized scholars （both at student and faculty level） are "gifted" entrance and employment， scholarships and grants， and so on， which establishes an unequal relationship with the universities administration （usually white men） and the scholars of color。 Patel also articulates the ways that the approach to issues of discrimination on campus is akin to couples counseling， which implies that all members willingly entered into the relationship， which does not address the imbalance of power or the university's unwillingness to actually change。I can't tell you how much I loved this book。 After reading it， I felt like I needed to read it again at least twice to really get as much out of it as Patel put into it。 Anyone who is in higher ed or has family in it should read this book， especially white people。I received an ARC of this book。 。。。more
