This Month: Decolonization with Dr. Amanda R. Tachine
What is the history of colonization? What are its cultural, psychological, and social effects? What is its relationship to empire? To capitalism? How does colonization work? Can we stop it? Are we colonizing unbeknownst to ourselves? What would it look like for a space to be decolonized? Is it even possible? Do they even exist? What does the term “decolonization” even mean?
Join ASU professor Dr. Amanda R. Tachine for a conversation on decolonization, empire, and indigeneity at Get Lit on Thursday, March 4, 2021 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Phoenix MST on Zoom.
