QLHE: Deconstructing the Master’s Tools

Deconstructing the Master’s Tools:
Taking apart the colonial-settler quaker Master’s House

Tuesday, April 25, 2023

Audre Lorde’s 1979 response to white women academics, “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house”, resonates deeply in the field of colonial-settlerism of Turtle Island. Lorde was explicit about the use of racism, misogyny & heterosexism to build the ivory tower, but how were these tools used to indoctrinate and assimilate the indigenous population of Turtle Island on the USA Reservation Agency?
