This issue of Radical History Review offers a collection of essays and reflections that grapple with the meaning of decolonization in a world riddled with imperial projects.
Features Amit Bhagat and Rebecca Waxman examine the anticolonial uprising and colonial repression that took place in Chimur (India) in August 1942 to ask questions about why certain events are left out of histories of decolonization in India. Benjamin Kapron uses the concept of survivance to explore decolonial other-than-human opposition to the Trent-Severn Waterway. Bright Gyamfi sheds light on the life of Ghanian political activist Anna Budu-Arthur and the transnational friendships she fostered in the Black diaspora. Cristian Padilla explores the often-ignored histories of Afro-Indigenous communities in Central America through oral history work with Garífuna activist Santos Centeno Garcia. Kevan Antonio Aguilar follows the path of refugees from the Spanish Civil War who were taken in by Indigenous groups in Mexico to highlight shared visions of a revolutionary society in post-Revolution Mexico and the coloniality of the Mexican state.
Curated Spaces E.C. Feiss explores the archives of HARYOU (Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited) to show how the Black “interior colony” constructed an anti-colonial program located in the heart of the U.S. Empire.
Teaching Radical History Patrica Harms and Serena Petrella offer a syllabus grounded in transformative praxis as a means towards teaching First Nations and Indigenous histories.
