Get ready for another GIR lunch talk this week! 🎙Tomorrow at 12:00 dr. Rafael Verbuyst will speak to us on Teams about settler colonialism and layered decolonization in post-apartheid South Africa.

[UU Global and Imperial Relations @GlobalUu]

Tomorrow we will discuss how addressing these claims can prompt us to differentiate between systems of domination that mark contemporary South Africa, and to sharpen ‘decolonization’ as an analytical lens.

Yesterday, ‘our’ Maarten Manse received his doctorate from @UniLeiden on his thesis 'Promise, Pretence and Pragmatism: Governance and Taxation in Colonial Indonesia, 1870-1940'. An exciting history of taxation, colonial state formation and negotiated local governance. Congrats!

...At the centre will be the personal trajectories that led individuals into participating in anti-colonial struggle organisations. Such micro-histories uncover the intricacies of motivation, group cohesion and the multi-faceted reasons leading to desertion. Join us ⤵️

Sinds de jaren vijftig is Nederland een van de meest pro-Israëlische landen van heel Europa. Maar volgens historicus Peter Malcontent zie je een verschuiving onstaant "bij de nieuwe generatie in hoe zij kijken naar dit conflict". https://t.co/eLQpFMVV7W
