The past is never dead. It's not even past

Not Even Past

Panel: “Postcolonial Socialisms in Perspective” (Agency and Action: Chapters in Socialist and Collectivist History Series)

Thursday February 20, 2020 • GAR 4.100

3:30 PM – 5:00 PM

From the 1940s to the 1970s, as part of the project of decolonization, leaders and thinkers in late colonial or postcolonial states developed strikingly new conceptions of socialism – conceptions that were distinct and often at odds with European ones. The panel will explore this phenomenon as it emerged in three contexts: the Arab world, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa.
