Hello! Since Fanon based his anti-colonial work on the colonization of Africa, especially with reference to Algeria, his critique is of European classic colonialism, the administrative kind. But I'm wondering, are there anticolonial thinkers who have written on the subject but from the position of settler colonialism?

Has Dipesh Chakrabarty responded anything to Chibber's critique of his work? I know Spivak and Chatterjee respond but do not see anything from Chakrabarty himself.

Dear friends, I have a question. Does anyone know if there are any sensible studies of the social sources of colonialism? Is it even possible to talk about something like this? Given that in the societies of the colonisers there were sometimes philosophical movements designed to justify colonialism, is there any research on the societies of the colonising powers? Or is there anyone who could tell me about it? Maybe I'm wrong, but from my perspective, this is a kind of a blank spot in postcolonial studies at the moment, and I would like to know if anyone has done any research on this at all.

I am writing a paper in art history and need help with some readings from postcolonial theory.
I am looking into the subject of globalization and a shared global art world from a postcolonial point of view. My starting point is the fracturing of the international stage into a pluralist space today with many key persons, where it is common now to account for a new “post-nation” internationalism in the art world. In my paper I am mostly trying to identify examples of art activities from earlier decades to demonstrate how "internationalism" in art is not a novel thing attributable to this century; a lot of art activism and activism in general from the 1980s led to the devaluation of art exhibitions produced from a strictly national perspective, but even before that there was a slow process fermenting.
Right now I am looking for a very specific subject that I am sure must've been addressed in postcolonial theory. It is the notion of "the arrival of the nation state." I am interested in readings that might highlight some productive views of the nation, addressing

• how the postcolonial "nation" itself might have stood as a polemic to earlier Eurocentric order through its process of decolonisation, but taking into account moments from after independence and its status as a sovereign entity
• how the status of the postcolonial nation arriving into the international stage of independent nations also promoted a kind of "arriving at the present"
• where this "arriving at the present" was not just for postcolonial nation states, but also for the rest of the nation states (colonizers included) in the globe. I'm seeing it as a sort of how even former colonial powers through their status as nations are kind of following the postcolonial nation, as every nation state "enters" the "present" (the post war period, or late 40s onwards)
• and how this idea of the postcolonial nation state-led "arrival" is kind of at the centre of today's idea of a plural international platform that is pretty much "post national"

I am pretty sure these are some very basic intro things addressed by the discourse, but since I do not specialize in postcolonial theory and know of its debates only from my art history related readings, I really need to be nudged towards specific readings.
Please suggest books (or specific chapters, even better) that address this area!

What do you guys think?

Greetings everyone,

I wish to write about post-colonial literature in comics. So far a couple names came to mind (Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese, most of Sergio Toppi's production), but I know I could do far better with international titles: I'm looking for original works which have been conceived for a comic book format, not adaptations (Transmediality is cool, yet I feel it would drive me too far off my topic).

Thus, my search goes for authors coming from the UK, Eire, former British colonies and Commonwealth Countries, just because that's where the focus of my work is.

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks,

Maria

Hey everyone! I am trying to find Arun Mukherjee's article "Whose Post-Colonialism and Whose Postmodernism?", but it's not available through my library nor can I find it online. Does anyone here have a PDF copy that they can share? I would be very thankful.

Hi, I'm not sure how active this community is but I'll give it a try anyways: I'm looking for english-language post-colonial short stories that are written in dialect or have some other specialty regarding their language. Suggestions would be much appreciated!

Not sure whether this is the right place to ask this.

The tweet below claims to show a video of Macron speaking, and gives the following translation:

"Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger exist only thanks to France and we will not hand them over."

IF the video is real, is that an accurate translation? Could he have meant something else?https://twitter.com/Sprinter99800/status/1698056432715710552

(I'm not just randomly reposting a tweet, this was picked up by an experienced newspaper editor among others.)

Thanks
