La Paperson is a pseudonym for K. Wayne Yang.
Settler colonialism is a set of technologies -- Land. And the university is settler colonial -- A third university exists within the first -- You, a scyborg.
"Unravels the intimate relationship between the more than two hundred U.S. land grant institutions, American settler colonialism, and contemporary university expansion. Author la paperson cracks open uncanny connections between Indian boarding schools, Black education, and missionary schools in Kenya; and between the Department of Homeland Security and the University of California. Central to la paperson's discussion is the "scyborg," a decolonizing agent of technological subversion. Drawing parallels to Third Cinema and Black filmmaking assemblages, A Third University Is Possible ultimately presents a framework for hotwiring university 'machines' to the practical work of decolonization"-- Provided by publisher.

A super interesting look into the colonialism of universities submitted by clarka on September 19, 2022, 12:19pm Unfortunately I only understood around 60% of what I was reading (which was more than enough to enjoy!) - I think a re-read is in my future, and with a few read throughs I might have a better grasp. There was a lot of jargon that I had to look up.
