我们在这篇文章中的目的是提醒读者什么是令人不安的非殖民化。非殖民化带来了原住民土地和生活的回归;这不是我们想要做的其他事情的隐喻，以改善我们的社会和学校。越来越多的人呼吁“使我们的学校非殖民化”，或使用“非殖民化方法”，或“使学生思想非殖民化”，这证明教育宣传和学术界很容易采用非殖民化的话语，这使非殖民化成为一种隐喻。社会正义、批判方法论或使定居者观点偏离中心的方法与非殖民化的目标一样重要。由于定居者殖民主义建立在定居者-土著-奴隶的纠结三元结构之上，白色、非白色、移民、后殖民和受压迫人民的非殖民化愿望同样可以纠缠在重新安置、重新占领、和重新定居，实际上进一步殖民主义定居者。非殖民化的隐喻使得一系列的逃避成为可能，或者说“定居者走向清白”，这是有问题的，试图调和定居者的罪责和同谋，拯救定居者的未来。在这篇文章中，我们分析了多个定居者走向无辜，以推进“不可否认的伦理”，承认什么是独特的，什么是主权的非殖民化项目（S）在人权和公民权利为基础的社会正义项目。我们还指出了跨国/第三世界非殖民化，废除和关键的空间-地方体系中令人不安的主题，这些主题挑战了社会正义努力的联合，为更有意义的潜在联盟腾出了空间。
Our goal in this article is to remind readers what is unsettling about decolonization. Decolonization brings about the repatriation of Indigenous land and life; it is not a metaphor for other things we want to do to improve our societies and schools. The easy adoption of decolonizing discourse by educational advocacy and scholarship, evidenced by the increasing number of calls to “decolonize our schools,” or use “decolonizing methods,” or, “decolonize student thinking”, turns decolonization into a metaphor. As important as their goals may be, social justice, critical methodologies, or approaches that decenter settler perspectives have objectives that may be incommensurable with decolonization. Because settler colonialism is built upon an entangled triad structure of settler-native-slave, the decolonial desires of white, non-white, immigrant, postcolonial, and oppressed people, can similarly be entangled in resettlement, reoccupation, and reinhabitation that actually further settler colonialism. The metaphorization of decolonization makes possible a set of evasions, or “settler moves to innocence”, that problematically attempt to reconcile settler guilt and complicity, and rescue settler futurity. In this article, we analyze multiple settler moves towards innocence in order to forward “an ethic of incommensurability” that recognizes what is distinct and what is sovereign for project(s) of decolonization in relation to human and civil rights based social justice projects. We also point to unsettling themes within transnational/Third World decolonizations, abolition, and critical space-place pedagogies, which challenge the coalescence of social justice endeavors, making room for more meaningful potential alliances.
