peoples and their access to rights in settler states. Indigenous peoples, including ’48 Palestinians, have been mobilizing citizenship as an important instrument of claim making.19 Yet dispossession, strategies of assimilation, and denial of sovereignty continue to shape the everyday lives of indigenous people. The limits of indigenous citizenship, as well as indigenous disillusionment with citizenship for its failure to advance justice, are evident across settler colonial contexts. The experiment of multicultural citizenship in Australia left indigenous peoples with symbolic gestures of recognition that fail to resolve questions of land redistribution, sovereignty, and self-determination. The 2017 Uluru Statement from the Heart, in which the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have called for “the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution,”20 is reflective of a quest to articulate alternative visions of political membership that seek to transcend the primacy of citizenship as a legal-political status. In addition, neo(liberal) logics of citizenship continue to play a role in limiting the rights of indigenous peoples to their land in the name of profit and national interest. In the United States, the Dakota Access Pipeline, an underground oil pipeline that runs through indigenous land, is underway despite the resistance of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. In Australia, the Adani coal mine project, which would be the country’s largest coal mine, has been granted all regulatory approval despite the objection of the Wangan and Jagalingou peoples in Queensland. And in Israel, the recent legislation of the Jewish Nation-State Law and the failure of citizenship to deliver equality, inclusion, and recognition are leading (some) ’48 Palestinians to ponder the utility of citizenship as an organizing principle of their struggle. Indigenous scholarship on citizenship tends to conceptualize citizenship in liberal terms of exclusion/inclusion, minimalist/maximalist, thin/ thick, and formal/substantive. Literature on the Palestinians in Israel is no different. In her important work, Shira Robinson has traced how citizenship functioned as a structure of exclusion in the formation of Israel’s colonial aspirations and liberal commitments.21 A focus on exclusion, however, does not capture how citizenship is incapable of preventing the subjugation of indigenous peoples in settler states. It obscures domination as a key concept in theorizing the history and contemporary working of citizenship and it fails to capture the intricacies of the relationship between domination and citizenship in settler polities.22 While I am indebted to Robinson’s work, my 12 Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3533490
