of ‘restoration’ that are also a colonial re-storying. We contextualise the Pelorus Island goat eradication project (Part II) with reference to ideas about the special role that islands play in conservation (Part III) and within the cultural–political history of carceral colonialism in Australia (Part IV). By considering the recent history of this ‘bizarre’ experiment, as it was called by Queensland Environment Minister Steven Miles (QP QWN 2016: p. 2976), with the surrounding islands’ carceral

Introduction
Colonialism left numerous borders in its wake that subsequently became contested, either through legal processes or in all out wars, and often combinations of both and/or something in-between (see for example Shelley 2004; Young 1983). On the African continent, even though the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), the front-runner of today’s African Union (AU), in 1964 accepted Africa’s colonial borders as recognized international post-colonial borders, these borders were still

Introduction
Cultural and political connections between Italian emigration to the Americas in the decades following the 1861 national unification, and Italian colonialism in Africa in the same historical period are several and significant. Colonialism had an impact on Italy’s international image, and consequently on the self-perception of Italians in America, who responded to colonialist discourse and propaganda. This article examines the reception of this discourse by two Italian American

Such philosophies, I argue, call for an expansion of the scope and subjects of justice beyond the human that remains nonetheless acutely attentive to the violence of capital-colonial regimes on Indigenous peoples themselves as subjects of entrenched and emergent racializing

and practice, I explore creative practices of Indigenous sovereignty through the critical concepts of relationality and refusal. Through this, I offer the practice of refusability as a means of thinking with and enacting a relational practice of Indigenous sovereignty in the ongoing context of settler colonialism.
Colonialism is not over
Colonialism in what is now known as North America takes the form of ongoing dispossession, physical, psychological and material violence. Taking different

Specifically, it describes the ways in which personal value systems influence how school leaders attend to appropriate, diligent and socially just responsibilities following a traumatic event. The purpose of this article is to identify and examine possible future strategies for a socially just school leader when confronted with an unanticipated and

, the concepts of colonialism, race, sovereignty, austerity and illegitimate state power are crucial. There is a focus on the punishment of Indigenous populations, the punishment of those seeking asylum yet unable to cross state borders and on populations subjected to economic austerity regimes. This course requires an evidentiary body to draw on as well as a critical vocabulary in order to reveal how the punishment of populations is represented as legitimate. Within this context I deploy

Simply, I write as a racialized body making sense of their own cultural colonial erasure, while simultaneously recognizing that my presence on this land reproduces similar colonial displacements of the original peoples of the land. These puzzles, forged by subtle (and not so subtle) technologies of colonialism, are at the heart of this exploration. Specifically, how can Indigenous peoples resist colonial annihilation through complicated and often paradox-producing ways to reinscribe agency

and their contestation. Our contention is that such a conceptualization helps to further elucidate how the seemingly mundane practices of the everyday are implicated in the related phenomena of colonialism, capitalist exploitation and ecological despoliation, while also opening up new ways of thinking about building political relations beyond (sovereign) borders.
The following article is organized in four sections. First, we outline our understanding of borders as productive, aligning ourselves
