Race vs. The Human

Wednesday 9 February 2022

Join us for this EREN and RACE.ED co-hosted seminar examining the self and the body in relation to coloniality and the decolonial world.

 

In coloniality, there is a need to conflate the body and the self through the mechanism (the construction and then imposition) of social identities such as race. Coloniality could not flourish without doing so. Yet, ontologically and epistemically we are human. We exceed race.

What lies under or beneath the colonial construction of Blackness?

What happens when we separate the colonial Black from the decolonial human?
