Читать книгу Settler Colonialism, Race, and the Law - Natsu Taylor Saito - Страница 16

The slogan “Make America Great Again” was coined by Ronald Reagan in his 1980 presidential campaign and revived by Donald Trump in 2016.3 Without mentioning race, it evokes an era in which White privilege was the presumptive domestic norm and the United States exercised global hegemony in the name of Western civilization. It is a construction squarely rooted in the dominant—or master—narrative of American history and identity. It has many dimensions, but most significantly, for our purposes, it is a story about progress and about property and, because of the ways those constructs are framed, it is inevitably also a story about race and gender.
