Decolonization is not a metaphor
By Eve Tuck & K. Wayne Yang
“Our goal in this article is to remind readers what is unsettling about decolonization. Decolonization brings about the repatriation of Indigenous land and life; it is not a metaphor for other things we want to do to improve our societies and schools.”

"the presence of Indigenous peoples - who make a priori claims to
land and ways of being - is a constant reminder that the settler colonial project is incomplete... The easy adoption of
decolonization as a metaphor (and nothing else) is a form of this anxiety... The absorption of decolonization by settler social justice frameworks is one way the settler...tries to escape or contain
the unbearable searchlight of complicity, of having harmed others just by being one’s self."
