Decolonisation Reconsidered: Special Issue Hagar

AI-generated Abstract

This special issue of Hagar critically reassesses the concept of decolonization, exploring its complexities and implications for the identities, cultures, and politics of both colonized and colonizers. Scholars contribute diverse geographical perspectives, prompting a reevaluation of the process which has historically been viewed as a linear progression toward independence. Key themes include the ongoing ramifications of colonial legacies, the failures of postcolonial nation-building, and the necessity of understanding decolonization as an intricate process that reshapes all participants involved.
