| dc.description.abstract | This thesis is situated in theories of settler colonial genocide that define the settler colonial project—the building of a new society of settlers that necessitates the erasure of Indigeneity—as a genocidal process. By adopting the framework of the settler colonial mesh, which examines elimination processes as adaptive, enduring, and operating along multiple levels of governance and through various bureaucratic institutions, I bring the issue of disproportionate Indigenous incarceration into the genocide discussion. Through critical discourse analysis of the Federal Corrections newsletter, a document that highlighted policies and programs at the forefront of correctional reform during this era, I examine the ways in which colonial and modern liberal thinking infuse the correctional project, which, in turn, act as a force of Indigenous erasure. | en_US |
