Names and Identities
Image from WordPress Names have long influenced how others perceive people and places. At a conference I once attended, I had the opportunity to discuss naming and power. One example that stood out was the term “Middle East.” For many residents of the region, the name itself carries little meaning because it is defined from an outside perspective. After all, “middle” and “east” relative to whom,…

A 2018 Pakistan study helps explain other post-colonial failures
In the ongoing quest to understand South Africa’s political and economic stagnation, it may be helpful to look at other postcolonial states that have traveled farther along the path of independence. This may help clarify the stagnation question that citizens, politicians and economists are grappling with. Much of the analysis of postcolonial Africa and Asia has identified poor leadership,…
Roland Barthes’ notion that the author is dead has been incredibly influential, though it was not as original or revolutionary as it seemed.
I load my throat
with gunpowder & mother strikes me like a match.
— K-Ming Chang, from "Postcolonial," published in Kweli
At first, I thought that my difficulties in life were caused by the fact that I was Indigenous. Then, in my thirties, I dis- overed that in truth, it was because I am a woman. It took a long time before I could become a woman, I mean, an Indigenous woman. Being an Indigenous woman is twice as difficult, because you embody two converging political realities. Women are also considered a "minority" in a way, and our struggle is motivated by the need for personal and collective security. So I became a feminist. Because no one is born a feminist, you must choose to become one.
~ Véronique Hébert, Anarcho-Indigenism

Die Untiefen des Postkolonialismus (Teil 1)
248 Die Untiefen des Postkolonialismus (Teil 2)
Eine Uni, ein Buch, ein deutsches Bedürfnis
Für die Jungle World haben wir einen Essay über den Holocaust relativierenden »postcolonial turn« verfasst, den die MLU in Halle hingelegt hat, indem sie ganze zwei Semester dem Buch »Den Schmerz der Anderen begreifen« von Charlotte Wiedemann und ihrem revisionistischen Erinnerungsansatz mit fakultätsübergreifenden Veranstaltungen gewidmet hat. Als Antwort auf die für das Wintersemester 2023/24 geplante Ringvorlesung »Erinnerung in Komplexität. Weltgedächtnis und Solidarität« hatten wir Anfang November Alex Gruber eingeladen, um seinen Vortrag »Die Shoah entsorgen, um Israel zu kritisieren. Zur Funktion des ›Historikerstreits 2.0‹« zu halten. Der Artikel befasst sich mit den Gründen für die Begeisterung über Wiedemanns Buch und enthält auch eine Analyse des Buches selbst, die verständlich machen soll, warum Wiedemann eine Anhängerin der linken »Schuldkult«-Legende ist. Er kann hier in Gänze gelesen werden:

I always struggle to decide which of Edward Said's works to recommend first, so:
Orientalism
The Question Of Palestine
Culture And Imperialism
Peace And Its Discontents
The Politics Of Dispossession
