Settler-colonial domination can be dismantled by power-sharing agreements

Evidence

Applying settler-colonial theorizing and some comparison with other settlercolonial settings, Lloyd points to the Unionists’ sense of siege, supremacy, and disdainful superiority, anxiety about “demographic threats” posed by the Nationalists, and wishes for the colonized to disappear. Lloyd argues that the aftermath of the Good Friday Agreement shows that power sharing has ended decades of settler-colonial domination by “a Protestant people” and brought recognition of civil rights, laws against discrimination, and declarations of “parity of esteem” achievements. This demonstrates that colonial societies are not necessarily permanent or endemic, but capable of transformation if and when relations of domination are dismantled. — Nadim N.
