This article explores reproductive violence against China’s internally colonized Uyghurs through the lens of reproductive justice developed by women of color in the United States (US). The authors argue that reproductive justice transforms outside the US, and specifically that addressing reproductive justice for Uyghurs points to geopolitical complications in countering reproductive violence in China. The article also develops the concept of internal colonialism by considering a specific gendered form of colonization – that of reproductive injustice.

In this article, the author details the internet shutdowns, platform shadowbanning, and countermovement doxxing as endured by feminist activists in India. Taken together, these practices and tools represent a digital Hindutva governance that comprises and co-constitutes the power of the state, corporations, and pro-government actors. The findings build on feminist scholarship detailing digital space as gendered and challenge reductive, state-centric narratives about digital capitalism and colonialism.

In this article, the authors analyze the gender politics of the anti-feminist “red pill” or Matrix conspiracy theory. Based on a discourse analysis of a representative sample of red pill communities’ YouTube videos, they find that the Matrix conspiracy theory serves to entrench hierarchical differentiations between masculinities, reproduce narratives of aggrieved sexual entitlement against “feminist oppression,” and advocate for a violent “return” to a more “traditional” gendered, sexual, and racial order.

This article develops a postsocialist queer reading of nuclear imperialism to examine how Cold War coloniality continues to shape global power through spatial, ecological, and temporal violence. Through case studies in the Marshall Islands, Semipalatinsk, Kudankulam, and Chornobyl, the article shows how Indigenous, native, and subaltern communities are rendered disposable under nuclear imperialism. By centering creative and grassroots resistance, the article situates nuclear imperialism within a global web of inter-imperial entanglements and highlights resonant struggles of refusal and survivance.
