Over recent decades, hydrosocial scholarship focusing on the plural, often contested relations of waters and societies has advanced significantly. This article reviews hydrosocial scholarship in three steps that are contextualized by geography's long-standing efforts to use water to ‘think geography’. The article begins by revisiting critiques of the hydrological cycle as circulating free of anthropogenic forces and wholly on the ‘nature’ side of the society/nature dualism. We consider how this critique shapes engagement with other fields where human–water relations are crucial, such as socio-hydrology and those focused on climate change. The article then examines the extension of hydrosocial scholarship from critiques of the hydrological cycle to its use in explaining social spaces, such as territory, urban processes and citizenship. Finally, we consider how hydrosocial scholarship from Black, Indigenous and anti-colonial praxis challenges epistemologies and ontologies that, even in their critiques, recentre Eurocentric notions of water.

“…Researchers have categorised various kinds of solidarity-oriented cosmopolitanisms beyond the national that still, however, retain a degree of cultural specificity. These include, for example, 'Catholic cosmopolitanism' (Albrecht, 2005: 354), 'Protestant cosmopolitanism' (Riches, 2013), 'Coloured cosmopolitanism [sic]' (Slate, 2012), 'Muslim cosmopolitanism' (Alavi, 2015) and 'Confucian cosmopolitanism' (Park and Han, 2014: 187). Cosmopolitanism appears here, thus, as a wider sense of generally lived solidarity, linked to a specific non-national imaginary.…”

This article analyses the representation of Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi in Bernhard Setzwein’s Der böhmische Samurai (2017) and Heinrich Mann in Colm Tóibín’s The Magician (2021). This discussion is situated in a number of wider contexts, including literary European Studies within German and Irish Literary Studies; existing representations of European federalists/Europeanists; the actual European thought of Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi and Heinrich Mann; and the oeuvre of the novelists Bernhard Setzwein and Colm Tóibín. It is argued that the representation of European federalists in recent novels enables us to analyse common attitudes and understandings of Europe and Europeanness in the current environment of Euroscepticism, self-questioning, and self-doubt at the institutional as well as constituent levels. It is also argued that the European federalists Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi and Heinrich Mann are represented as European cosmopolitans: Both are depicted as existing within a wide variety of transnational links, as remaining deeply sceptical of nationalism, especially in its violent form, and as arguing for the extension of the space of the political, beyond the national. Their depiction is, thus, of intellectual figures who laid some of the ideational groundwork for the creation of later European institutions, undertaking this reflective task from the perspective of an idealistic, pacifist and deeply democratic cosmopolitanism.

“…Vivek Bald (2013) also shares narratives of Bengali Muslim peddlers and ship workers who came to the United States during the Asian Exclusion Era (from the 1890s through 1940s) and married into local African-American and Puerto Rican communities. Renowned civil rights activists W. E. B. DuBois was a strong supporter of South Asian liberation movements and had relationships with Nehru, Tagore, Ambedkar, Lala Lajpat Rai, and other South Asians (Slate, 2012). There are currently numerous solidarity groups emerging in Canada and the United States, such as Equality Labs, the South Asian Awareness Network, South Asians for Black Lives, Asians for Black Lives, South Asian Americans Leading Together, and many more.…”

Complicities and complexities in racialization simultaneously create possibilities and foreclose opportunities for cross-racial solidarities. In this auto-ethnographic paper, we share our learning and theorizing of Brown-Black solidarities since we filmed a webinar titled, “Brown Complicity in White Supremacy: Towards Solidarity for Black Lives” (SultyDee, 2020), one of several efforts towards Brown (South Asian)-Black solidarities in North America. We begin by situating ourselves in this conversation by troubling conceptions of “Brown” that flatten power asymmetries within the diaspora. We then theorize the inevitable complexities and complicities of the relational racialization of Brownness from anti-racist and anti-colonial framings and explore conceptions of Brown-Black solidarities. Finally, we draw on webinar feedback and our ongoing work in education and in communities in the Greater Toronto Area to offer a framework for strengthening Brown anti-racist orientations towards Brown-Black solidarities. This framework intends to examine intersections between white supremacy, anti-Black racism, caste oppression, and settler colonialism in a white settler state.
