Keynote Lecture of the Inaugural Workshop of the Department of History and Civilization.

 

 

In this lecture, Gert Oostindie will discuss the re-emergence of colonial history in Western Europe in the context of decolonization and postcolonial migrations, addressing recent debates about Atlantic slavery and the violence of post-World War Two decolonization wars as examples. In his conclusion, he will also argue that understanding this history and its legacies is not only relevant to the former core colonial states, but to all of nations making up the present European Union.
