“Haríamos bien en no perder de vista que cualquier gesto descolonizador, por inocuo que nos parezca, es una crítica a las políticas imperiales. Y que como tal, su efecto no se produce en el pasado, sino en el presente y en el futuro” @guerraenlauni.bsky.social y que aún haya que explicar esto…

Clearly formal apologies and engaging in any *talks* (note: not even actions!) to address the colonial and enslaving legacies was too much to ask from the former colonial empires. Shame on all of them!

The resolution was approved by decent UN members calling on UN nations to engage in talks "on reparatory justice…, measures of restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, guarantees of non-repetition and changes to laws, programs and services to address racism and systemic discrimination."

The UK & EU abstained from the #UN non-binding (!) resolution on recognising the trafficking of enslaved Africans as the "gravest crime against humanity”. As if this had nothing to do w/ their #colonial and enslaving history & legacies. The US, Israel and Argentina even voted against it! #slavery

Heading to Dominica in a week to continue the work with the Kalinagos, making my research and Leverhulme funding an enabler for Kalinagos' wellbeing, quality education, equality, and capacity building. Stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks! @livunihss.bsky.social @leverhulme.ac.uk

And (2) cultural heritage to improve cultural assets for education, tourism, and economic growth. This follows many community discussions and several trainings in sustainable tourism, museums, and education in Liverpool last year with a Kalinago delegation.

Beatriz Marín-Aguilera @archaeotext.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

We are targeting (1) quality education, integrating Kalinago knowledge in schools to create a feeling of pride among Kalinago children and understanding and support among non-Kalinago pupils across Dominica. This will work towards social justice and a better, decolonised, national curriculum

One of the really soothing things about the ruins of castles is that they are ruins. Militarism seems everlasting sometimes, but even the strongest fortresses crumble and the only thing certain is change

One of the most striking and grim aspects of all the colonial reports on the Great War, its impact and its legacy in French West Africa is how convinced officials were that Africans did not feel individual attachment to, love for or loss of family members or husbands who went away to war.
