Sample text
Progressive non-Indigenous perspectives, while embracing political processes such as reconciliation, apology or treaty, often implicitly do so in the name of ending politics and creating a unified political community. Our nation-state, they argue, was founded illegitimately and without recognition of Indigenous existence. This existence must now be recognised and ‘dealt with’ so that the foundation can be complete and we can move forward as an inclusive Australian nation. There is a sense here of an incomplete project—the political work of foundation was begun but never completed.
It is in the interaction between this plurality that new possibilities emerge, which we could never have imagined in isolation. Settler colonialism cannot imagine its own end, though it continually fantasises about it. We know then that its transformation can only come from beyond itself—we ourselves sense that we have exhausted the utility of unilateral, predetermined goals that will orient us in the ‘right’ direction. While it sounds truistic, settler colonialism cannot create post-settler colonial futures.
