The author discusses a lecture by Justice Patrick Robinson, a member of the International Court of Justice, in 2019 that focused on the development and passage in 1960 of Resolution 1514 in the United Nations General Assembly, the Declaration of the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. She explains Robinson's perception that the granting of independence to colonies was not an act of benevolence. She also describes the reemergence of the topic of reparation in the U.S.

An essay which brought together critical medical anthropological and indigenous studies analyses to examine the embodiment of settler colonialism as structural violence that persists among indigenous people in community-driven interventions to treat diabetes, is presented. Topics covered include productive value of the two-eyed analysis for refusing the entanglement of anthropology with settler colonialism and surgical cure for diabetes as an extension of settler-colonial biogovernance.

In 2010, archaeologists investigated diverse, multilinear human histories and disagreed about what forces shaped these histories most powerfully. The varied new work covered in this review is organized into three broad themes. First, research on the relationship between people and environments included topics such as domestication and anthropogenic landscapes, social responses to environmental crisis, and adaptation. Second, archaeologists studying nonstate societies discussed the basis of inequality, the dynamics of early villages, kin organization (incl. 'house societies'), lineage commemoration, social memory, and monumentality. A third body of literature concerned the complex interactions within, between, and around states, including colonial powers; here, archaeologists particularly emphasized the intersection of imperial or colonial processes with local actors. In all three themes, a focal interest concerns the extent to which local and regional histories were forged by conditions or by human actions and their chains of consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
