"Resistant Pasts: The Intellectual History of Anticolonialism"

Thursday, April 11
4:00 p.m.
Room 710 Social Sciences

Dr. Berthold Molden, visiting professor at the University of New Orleans will give a special lecture on the intellectual history of global anti-colonialism.

Resistance against foreign rule is as old as human society. Within modern history, anti-colonial struggle against European domination overseas has been ubiquitous and one of the central axes of global history. In the course of decolonization, "counter histories" of marginalized groups have challenged the western canon of national and transnational master narratives. If history is relevant for politics, then anti-colonial politics of history have shaped the 20th century.
