A s one of her bibliographers (of both her published and unpublished work), what I find most striking in Elizabeth Betita Martínez is the breadth of seemingly limitless subjects she took up in her activism and resulting works. For over fifty-five years, Martínez produced an expansive body of writing that included seven books, over 560 articles, and countless reviews. Additionally, she contributed to an equally vast trove of collectively authored, unattributed, and unsigned opinion pieces, critical treatises, collaborative essays, and speeches, as well as countless personal, private letters of support, encouragement, guidance, and meticulous editorial critiques (both solicited and unsolicited)—all gifted with joy, hope, and love—to generations of activists, scholars, community members, and young people. This essay looks closely at how Martínez wove an internationalist feminist vision into her activism and writings after years of multiracial organizing. I claim that throughout her long career as an agent of history, as an organic intellectual and as a movement historian, documenting the intersectionality of the struggles of marginalized peoples all over the world, she engaged in intergenerational knowledge transmission through an internationalist feminist lens.

Abstract:Through a Lakota, Indigenous, and dance studies lens, this essay presents the first extensive study of Buffalo Dance (1894), one of the earliest films to depict Native Americans, and in particular, Lakota men. Previous scholarship about Buffalo Dance has missed significant details about the film by failing to conduct community-engaged research and a reading of the movement modalities depicted. Instead, my analyses of the dancers' choreographies and interviews with Native experts illuminate Buffalo Dance as a brilliant expression of Lakota sovereignty and survival within and beyond US settler colonial confines. Drawing on and expanding Indigenous studies scholars' discussions of sovereignty, I define this concept as follows: Native expressions of agency and authority—rooted in Indigenous worldviews, languages, narratives, experiences, and practices—that relate to human and/or more-than-human collectives and promote Native well-being and futurities. I conclude by considering the contemporary implications of the Buffalo Dance choreographies as they relate to Tatanka Kcizapi Wakpala (Buffalo Fighting Creek), another Lakota performance of sovereignty and survival created in 2020 by George Blue Bird—a direct descendant of a performer in Buffalo Dance. Connecting these choreographies affirms how the Buffalo Dance performance extends into the present and the future.

Abstract:This essay asks us to reconceptualize nuclear colonialism in the Pacific as a form of settler colonialism, arguing that through nuclear testing the US applied older settler colonial principles of property and appropriation to previously unclaimed ocean spaces. Through an analysis of the Applied Fisheries Laboratory archives, I show how colonial legal doctrines provided a framework within which the American nuclear complex could conceptualize itself as properly owning the ocean that it had put to "productive use" through nuclear testing, with radiation serving as a settler colonial prosthesis that continues to impose colonial land relations even in the absence of settlers themselves. At the same time, I show how the Pacific itself shaped the emergence of US nuclearism, as its surprisingly resilient ecologies allowed the nuclear complex to continue to think of its destructive activities as compatible with the ongoing survival of life. The essay closes with an analysis of the Marshall Islands Student Association's 2019 campaign "My Fish Is Your Fish," which considers what decolonization looks like in an oceanscape that is permanently occupied by American radiation. For MISA, decolonial nuclear justice involves recomposing Marshallese land relations with the irradiated ocean as a critical form of nuclear decolonization.
