Insurrect!

Insurrect! is an online publication devoted to anti-colonial frameworks and critiques of racial capitalism in Early American Studies. Insurrect! publishes writing related to the historical and cultural legacies of colonialism in the Americas and Atlantic World, broadly defined. Our publications confront colonial violence, capitalism, and white supremacy in the present, and honor the legacy of anti-colonial movements in the history of the Americas. Insurrect! publishes work in Black Studies, Native American and Indigenous Studies, Disability Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Queer Theory, and serves as a resource for activists and educators who recognize that the historical and material conditions of the present are untenable. We prioritize the work of early career scholars and precarious scholars.

Insurrect! is on Patreon because compensating writers and editors is fundamental to our mission. Insurrect! publishes graduate students, independent scholars, contingent faculty, museum and library workers, and archivists.
