The Imagined Community, Symbolic Cultural Boundaries, and the Other: Discursive Activations of Anti-immigrant Sentiment by Political Parties and the Media in Italy
No full textItaly, like many other European countries, is at a crossroads with its quickly changing socio-cultural demographic landscape and simultaneously heightening nationalist anti-immigrant sentiment that is lighting up the nation.

The Challenges of Indigenous Oral History Since Mitchell v Minister of National Revenue

Based on these findings, does this decision make room for Aboriginal title and rights claimants to contest dominant understandings of Indigenous presence in the Canadian settler state? Examining the reasoning of six trial-level court decisions, this article finds that Mitchell was operationalized in four of the cases to exclude Indigenous oral history evidence. In its application by trial courts, this article argues that Mitchell does not create opportunities for Indigenous challenges to colonial spatial relationships
