Our Colonial Legacy explores the complex ways in which slavery and colonialism still influence our everyday lives. Now that the discussion about how to deal with our colonial past is more alive than ever, this book wants to make an important contribution to society.
The authors question what it means to ‘inherit’ the structures of our colonial past – the categories in which we think, the connections we make, even literally the objects.
I Speckmann –
Educational. But for readability it could have benefited from some editing. Long, unnecessarily complicated sentences peppered with jargon I don’t know. The introduction alone is daunting. Shame! (And what an old-fashioned font on the inside)
