    Late night thought on matters pertaining to early modern lit studies and critical Indigenous work: a weary self-reflection. 1/n

        Wow, working across these fields is tiring. But perhaps that is also a function of larger forces shaking our worlds right now. 2/n

        What is also tiring is recognizing that decades of my academic training, professional participation, legal & political work, and community support across these fields has taken a lot of effort, real work, without always leaving a trace. 3/n

        Perhaps most importantly, none of my work in lit studies has ever been “light”; all of the choices made to train in an interdisciplinary fashion were necessary *because* he Hawai’i au, and to ‘imi, to seek, meant I had to be conversant in Western separate disciplines. 4/n

        Real interdisciplinary training is not unique. The motive here, tho, the imperative may be...but regardless, it strikes me that this kind of training is not the norm in EM studies, hence regular #ShakeRace exhortations to do the work of reading whole fields of CRS and beyond. 5/n

        But here’s the thing: will anyone ever really take a Native Studies intro course? Will anyone read Scott Stevens, Mishuana Goeman, Dale Turner, Kehaulani Kauanui, Patrick Wolfe, Noelani Arista, Aileen Moreton-Robinson, Damon Salesa, Aroha Harris, Teresia Teaiwa... 6/n

        ...jessie little doe baird, Phil Deloria, Judy Kertesz, Tiya Miles, Joe Gone, Robert Williams, David Wilkins, Larissa Behrendt....I’m just scratching the surface, the necessary intellectuals who must be read in our field, our fights goes on and on and on. 7/n

        Just making the list of people whose work I’ve read, been in conversation with, learned from—an severely incomplete list, at that—makes me tired. Not because I don’t cherish the work of all of these named and unnamed people. 8/n

        But I get tired at the thought that we have been living and thinking and working for our People and writing for our People and other Peoples for decades, and it still...doesn’t...get read by smart, progressive people. 9/n

        This is the continual marginalization of ‘oiwi intellectual work. And we’re the cross-over ones. Folx’ minds would be blown to see the even deeper work that goes on *inside* our ‘oiwi “disciplines”. (I have cites for that work too, but that’s not for this thought.) 11/n

        And because of this marginalization, folx don’t look beyond the latest cite in our EM fields, folx don’t see the layers of other thinkers and hours of actual work in another rich, vibrant field b/c...why? Weariness? Comfort? Privilege? No resources? Fear? 12/n

        I’m tired of the tropes that haunt and shape EM work without folx being able to see it b/c WSC is the mode of our (scholarly) existence. 13/n

        Please, when you think, write, talk about “nation,” “sovereignty,” “property,” “nature,” “environment,” “democracy,” “exploration,” “kinship”...please learn how these terms have histories in discourses (incl. academic) that have been used to eliminate ‘oiwi life. 14/n

        We in EM studies have so many amazing skills & resources to do better, so much potential to do better. But who will ask us all to do better? To whom will it matter? 15/n

        I hope that asking folx to deepen their dive into another field, an essential field (I feel, not just for scholarship or politics but for survival!) will enable a more deconstructing practice in our EM work to decenter these tropes designed to make us forget 16/n

        ...that other ways of life have and still do exist, other ways of looking at and talking about EM culture & its works need not be held hostage by WSC’s teleological reinforcement. 17/n

        I can only hope to encourage folx who care about doing this work: I promise, it is worth it. The struggle to see differently is worth it. The value of reading & listening & learning outside yr comfort zone is profound if you can go there. 18/n
