- This Critical Theory Workshop webinar took place on November 4, 2023. It was moderated by Iaan Reynolds, and the full title was: "The Anti-Colonial Tradition: Imperialism, Class Struggle & Ecology."
Description
With the world ablaze and hundreds of millions in the former colonies living in sacrifice zones, theories of liberal multiculturalism and “epistemic decolonization” appear increasingly inadequate. This panel discussion attempts to recover operative concepts from the largely neglected anticolonial tradition, which analyzed and struggled against capitalist imperialism on the basis of a historical materialist perspective. Drawing on figures such as Amílcar Cabral, Ho Chi Mihn, Thomas Sankara, Maurice Bishop, Samora Machel, Walter Rodney, and Che Guevara, we attempt to show how their conceptions of neocolonialism, democracy, class struggle, and economic planning can illuminate and potentially transform the warming and stratified world in which we currently find ourselves.
This event was organized by the Critical Theory Workshop and co-sponsored by Monthly Review and International Manifesto Group.
