Abstract: The coloniality matrix of power is foundational to many national education systems. Thinking with Lather ("Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society", 27(1), 199-227), we argue that "traces, fragments, and ruins survive, embedded in common sense, perspective, social practices, and political power" (p. 200) long after nation-states assert independence and build school systems. "[W]orking within/against the dominant, contesting borders, tracing complexity… [we aim] to gain new insight into what not knowing [and not knowing too much]" (p. 199) allows us to say about the vestiges of colonialism in refugee education in the United States. We explore what remains in refugee education today, as we pick through the ruins of nearly ten years of intra-related ethnographic and case study research that we have conducted to reassess our authority/legitimacy as researchers. We focus on diffracting who we constructed and accepted as actors and what we counted as data in our work through lenses of coloniality and feminist pedagogy.
