Heute vor 140 Jahren endete die Berliner #AfrikaKonferenz, die entscheidend zur willkürlichen Aufteilung #Afrikas in #Kolonien beitrug.
Wir erinnern aus diesem Grund an das Gespräch, das Jan-Henrik Friedrichs & Katja Jana mit Manuela Bauche von #Kolonialismus im Kasten? und Christian Kopp von #BerlinPostkolonial geführt haben:

Her husband set sail for #America again, initially leaving their son Thomas behind.
For all these reasons, I felt she deserved a poem, in #Gaelic. Sadly her own #Algonquin language is now lost to #ColonialHistory.

The Netherlands has returned 288 stolen artifacts to Indonesia, many of which were taken during the colonial era. These cultural treasures include coins, weapons, jewelry, and sculptures, some of which were seized following a devastating 1906 conflict in Bali. A powerful step towards honoring the past and righting historical wrongs.

Encouraging state engagement with #EscazúAgreement means we must seriously consider introducing comparable treaties in other #ResourceRich regions with #ColonialHistory of #unequal exchange, mass #environmental degradation & violent #repression against those advocating for #HumanRights & #ProtectionOfNature. These include large parts of #Africa & #PacificIsland nations - heart of the rush for #TransitionMinerals needed for #RenewableEnergy - #cobalt & #lithium.

i was researching how breadfruit trees were moved around the world by colonials and came across this quote on the wikipedia entry for william bligh: "In order to win a premium offered by the Royal Society, he first sailed to Tahiti to obtain breadfruit trees"
it's not the first time i've seen references to royal society competitions/prizes/quests and i'd like to learn more about this subject.
but the histories of the royal society that i've come across so far have been in that sort of "heroic colonial"/"great man" mode.
i'm looking for something that's more along the lines of "what role did the royal society have to play in the movement of plants and other organisms?" it seems like they were putting out these "challenges" for "explorers", but that's where my knowledge ends.
i'd also be happy to read a book that's about the role of the royal society in empire-building & colonialism in general.
thank you in advance!
i'm tagging a bunch of stuff in the hopes that someone might be able to direct me: #STS #ScienceStudies #HistoryOfScience #CulturalAnthropology #plants #colonialism #SaturdayLibrarian #AskALibrarian #BotanyHistory #ColonialHistory #HistoryOfEmpire #CulturalStudies
NBC has done a remarkably good job describing Hawai'i's historical losses--and history of resistance and colonialism--as a wildfire burns the historic capital of Lahaina, Maui.

While looking for something completely different, I happened across this amazing article about how Mi’kmaq were perceived as witches in what are now the Atlantic provinces of Canada. This is a treasure trove about racism, witch hunts, and colonialism. https://www.erudit.org/en/journals/ethno/2008-v30-n2-ethno2776/019949ar/ #WitchHunt #Witchcraft #Superstition #Racism #Mikmaq #Acadian #ColonialHistory #Canada #Indigenous #History #WitchCraze #Sorcery #Mikmaw #Wabanaki #Newfoundland #NewBrunswick #Colonization #Folklore #Appalachians #Magic
