Abstract

Over the last two decades there has been an increase in studies connecting identity-based agrarianisms to global anti-colonial struggle. There has, however, been little scholarship bringing Jewish agrarianism into conversation with other racialised and displaced groups to consider its contribution to anti-coloniality. Diasporism ideology emerged in the Black Radical Tradition, Indigenous anti-colonialism and Jewish Radical Diasporism and has created a constellation of anti-colonial political identities. Diasporist political identity is practiced culturally, socially, and politically, including within identity-based agrarianisms. This paper proposes ‘diasporist ontologies’ as the generation of new belonging and ways of being, which situate diasporism through the practice, production, and renewal of culture in place. Drawing on an ethnography of identity-based agrarianisms in the Great Lakes region of Turtle Island (USA) I consider how places produce diasporist ontologies. I reveal how diasporist ontologies are cultivated through relational connection with place and consider the emergent anti-coloniality that is produced. Dros y ddau ddegawd a fu, gwelid cynnydd mewn astudiaethau sy'n cysylltu agrariaethau seiliedig ar hunaniaeth â’r frwydr fyd-eang wrth-wladychiaeth. Er hynny, prin iawn yw’r ysgolheictod sy’n dod ag agrariaeth Iddewig mewn deialog â grwpiau hiledig a grwpiau wedi’u dadleoli i ystyried eu cyfraniad at wrth-wladychiaeth. Daeth ideoleg ar sail y diasbora i’r amlwg yn y traddodiadau radicalaidd Du, y gwrth-wladychiaeth frodorol, a’r diabora radicalaidd Iddewig, ac mae hynny wedi creu cytser o hunaniaethau gwleidyddol gwrth-wladychol. Caiff hunaniaethau gwleidyddol mewn alltudiaeth eu hymarfer yn ddiwylliannol, yn gymdeithasol ac yn wleidyddol, gan gynnwys agrariaethau seiliedig ar hunaniaeth. Mae'r papur hwn yn awgrymu mai cenhedlaeth o berthyn a ffyrdd newydd o fodoli yw 'ontolegau mewn alltudiaeth', sy'n gosod y cyflwr o fod mewn alltudiaeth yn un a grëir drwy ymarfer, cynhyrchu ac adnewyddu diwylliant yn ei le. Gan dynnu ar waith ethnograffig ar agrariaethau seiliedig ar hunaniaeth yn rhanbarth Great Lakes yn Ynys y Crwban (UDA), rwy'n rhoi ystyriaeth i sut mae llefydd yn cynhyrchu ontolegau mewn alltudiaeth. Byddaf yn dangos sut mae ontolegau mewn alltudiaeth yn cael eu meithrin drwy gysylltiadau perthynol â llefydd, ac ystyried y ideoleg wrth-wladychol sy’n dod yn eu sgîl.
