Coulthard, Glen. Red Skin, White Masks: Rejecting The Colonial Politics of Recognition. University of Minnesota Press, 2014.
Fundamentally questions prevailing ideas of settler colonialization and Indigenous resistance
Coulthard challenges recognition as a method of organizing difference and identity in liberal politics, questioning the assumption that contemporary difference and past histories of destructive colonialism between the state and Indigenous peoples can be reconciled through a process of acknowledgment. He examines an alternative politics, seeking to revalue, reconstruct, and redeploy Indigenous cultural practices based on self-recognition.
