The Colonialism of Eviction

This journal article by Sarah Buhler and Patricia Barkaskas critically examines eviction as a colonial process within Canada, exploring how the eviction legal system reproduces colonial structures and affects Indigenous communities disproportionately. The article presents a compelling discussion on Indigenous concepts of home and homelessness, contrasting them with settler colonial views on property and ownership. It calls for a decolonized approach to the eviction legal system, aiming to mitigate the adverse impacts of eviction on Indigenous families and communities.
