Anticolonial Internationalisms: A Symposium

The radical legacy of twentieth century anticolonial movements casts long shadows into our time. Before the rise of globalization, these struggles were self-consciously internationalist, seeking to transform the world itself. The global and revolutionary character of Third Worldism, Tricontinentalism, the Non-aligned Movement and other anti-imperialist projects continue to captivate scholars while informing a new generation of antiracist activists.  

In this bilingual English-French symposium, our invited speakers will trace this global dimension, examining the political thought of historic decolonial struggles in Latin America and the Caribbean, North and Subsaharan Africa, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean.
