Abstract:

This roundtable explores the potential of decolonization as a framework for understanding and addressing the problems of traditional narratives of Chinese history. We came together with the contention that the hegemonic narrative of Chinese history, which emphasizes 5,000 years of civilizational unity, is both misleading and harmful. A decolonization framework, we posited, could help illuminate past injustices and give us the tools to create better and more just histories about China.

Abstract:

The play Cidade Correria (City Rat Race) from Rio de Janeiro is my point of departure for a study of tragedy in contemporary theatre from the perspective of decolonization. A colonial mentality blanketed the New World with a white, male, heterosexual rationality whose universalizing pretensions would usher the native peoples ‘who had no writing or history’ into ‘civilization’. Dismantling this structure today requires connecting heterogeneities and dissonances. In the theatre, narratives demolish dramatic structure, proposing unstable compositions where figures pass by charting a cartography f

Abstract:

I examine here the role of anthropology in decolonizing narratives of personal identity, taking my own story as an example. I reflect on different aspects of decolonization between east and west: that of racialized identities in different national contexts; of disciplinary contrasts between European and American anthropology; and between that of eastern and western Europe. Drawing on Ingold’s notion of commoning, I discuss decolonizing practices through teaching anthropologically, using narrative as a method.

Abstract:

This paper proposes a new reading of Moroccan abstract painter Jilali Gharbaoui through the lens of decolonization. Gharbaoui fits uncomfortably into the narrative of modernism in Morocco. Unlike other painters, interested in direct connections between their shapes or abstractions and traditional visual culture or Islamic art as a postcolonial claim of local identity, Gharbaoui’s work is more elusive. Many critics have framed his abstraction primarily through his schizophrenia, as Gharbaoui died from suicide in 1971; this continual recourse to biography over the actual art objects puts Gharbao

Decolonization discourse is presented as a tool for reclaiming cultural identity, reinterpreting historical narratives, and establishing new sociocultural values.

Abstract:

Decolonization has become a popular discourse in academia recently and there are many debates on what it could mean within various disciplines as well as more broadly across academia itself. The field of international development has seen sustained gestures towards decolonization for several years in theory and practice, but hegemonic notions of development continue to dominate. Development is a contested set of ideas and practices that are under critique in and outside of academia, yet the reproduction of colonial power structures and Eurocentric logics continues whereby the realities of the

Narratives about Africa are often shaped by deficit discourses that frame “development” as an instrument for advancing the interests of global capitalism. From within this neoliberal view, Africa has to “catch up” to and “be taught” how to emulate and achieve the standards promulgated in mainstream media. Through the lens of an alternative realism, however, such narratives can be reshaped. The African philosophy of ubuntu is one example of a deeply relational ethic from within which development can be reconceptualized as “freedom” in terms of democratic ideals and which can be used as a guidin

At decolonization, mobility narratives framed through a nation-centric lens -- in conjunction with other contingencies -- undermined Rohingya claims to belonging. Even as possession of the “right” documentation is today fundamental to claiming citizenship, the post-colonial Burmese state has systematically stripped Rohingya of the right to any documentation in its attempt to extinguish Rohingya subjectivity. The paper calls for decolonizing cartographies and dismantling narrativ

Abstract:

In this article, I argue that globalization is interwoven with colonialism and coloniality and both psychology and human development are shaped by the enduring legacy of Eurocentric colonial knowledge. In particular, I draw on my ethnographic research in Pune, India, to show how the transnational elite, middle- and working-class urban Indian youth are engaging with new practices of globalization. I examine how particular class practices shape youth narratives about globalization and “Indianness” generally, as well as specific stories about their self, identity, and family.

Abstract:

This article seeks to examine the works of Caribbean authors Derek Walcott and V.S. Naipaul through the lens of Frantz Fanon’s theories on identity, colonialism, and resistance. Drawing on Fanon’s concepts of cultural alienation and decolonization, the present article investigates how both Walcott’s Dream on Monkey Mountain and Naipaul’s A House for Mr. Biswas depict the struggle for self-assertion and liberation in postcolonial societies. By probing into the characters’ experiences and narratives, the research identifies recurring themes of identity formation, racial dynamics, and the effect

Objective: Objective: This article examines how contemporary Russian-language poetry in Kazakhstan from 2019 to 2024 engages with themes of decolonization and identity. Method: Drawing on a qualitative analysis of works by Kazakhstani Russophone poets, we explore how these writers navigate the legacy of Russian cultural dominance while asserting local and hybrid identities. Through close reading of poetic texts (with original Russian and English translation), we illustrate how these poets both confront and reclaim the Russian language as a medium for Kazakhstani expression.

Abstract:

Colonization has had extremely negative impacts on the mental health and wellness of Indigenous peoples throughout the world. In this paper we take up colonial processes as they relate to Indigenous lives and mental health in three contexts: Canada, Kenya and Australia. This work engages storytelling and the method of storywork (Archibald et al., 2019) as a way to preserve and pass on history and as a way of resisting colonial oppression. This work is grounded in an intersectional approach to social justice and decolonization (Crenshaw, 1990; Hankivsky & Cormier, 2011), and supported shari

Was the liberation movement really for liberation? Did the nationalist movements betray the multitudes, the common of the society? Was the liberation of South Asia only a shift of minorities (from native to national minority) and unequal dynamics of power (‘Strongmen’ ruling the weak)? Almost every nation state shares the same attributes. The Empire's colonists and native are the nation state’s national majority and national minority, Mamdani (2020) argued. The study uses Mamdani's theoretical framework of nation state to understand the plight of India’s national minorities. Minorities of the

Abstract:

This article examines the Oceanic Taiwan exhibition at Taiwan’s National Museum of History (NMH) as a pivotal moment in reshaping national identity through museum narratives. Departing from its Sinocentric legacy, the NMH engaged diverse non-state actors to construct a maritime-centered curatorial assemblage that foregrounded Taiwan’s settler-colonial history and ongoing democratization. Using Bennett’s museum theory and Latour’s Actor-Network Theory, the study analyzes the exhibition’s agency in producing a counternarrative that simultaneously advanced decolonial aims and revealed representat

During the presidency of Xi Jinping, the PRC has accelerated the development of its discourse power, which includes attempts to promote its own vision of international order. While the contents of China’s strategic narratives about the international system have been quite well summarized and discussed in the existing scholarship, other aspects of China’s external communication have received less attention.

Abstract During the early years following Ghana’s political independence from British rule, calls were made for university education to have ‘an African character’. As a field steeped in Eurocentric narratives, how did the Classics survive, and how did classicists respond to the politics of Africanization? This paper draws on the political contexts under which secondary and tertiary education in Ghana underwent reforms to discuss the threats and challenges these reforms posed to the sustenance of the field of Classics, and the decolonization strategies classicists adopted during the calls for

Abstract This article looks at Argentine attempts to mobilize the Third World support by framing the Falklands/Malvinas War as a North-South conflict. Despite fundamental ideological divisions, the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Non-Aligned Movement offered support to Argentina, while the NATO powers - the European Economic Community (EEC) and the United States − backed Great Britain. The Falklands/Malvinas was thus a conflict where nationalist agendas linked up with global narratives of decolonization and the Global South.

Abstract What does making progress in global justice mean? What are the barriers to progress? This article introduces the notion of tragic progress, against assertions by International Relations realists that tragedy and progress are mutually exclusive concepts, and as a complement to notions of ‘pragmatic progress’ and ‘bounded progress’ offered by IR constructivists and philosophical pragmatists. Tragic progress refers to the disruptive and often painful process of self-examination spurred by contexts of crisis, both for individuals and for wider collectives. Focusing on the multiperspectiva

Social and cultural anthropology, other related disciplines, some colonizing territories and museography face the challenge of decolonization. Several European museums have reviewed their colonialities and have proposed museographic changes to decolonize their spaces. We want to analyze the colonial and/or decolonial narratives of three Catalan museums and find the key points to formulate decolonizing proposals. To do this, we did an ethnographic fieldwork, visiting collectively the three selected museums, located in different places of the territory. We prepared a collaborative field notebook

This paper examines the romanticized portrayals of Native American women in colonial narratives and highlights how Monique Mojica’s play Princess Pocahontas and the Blue Spots resists these colonial images through counternarratives. By reclaiming the voices of iconic Indigenous women such as Pocahontas and La Malinche, this study explores how the play decolonizes feminine stories and challenges the European imagination of Native American women. The method employed in this study involved an analytical approach, drawing on indigenous feminist and postcolonial literary theories to examine Mojica’
