Whatever Happened to the Idea of Imperialism?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A South Africa Event on 2016-05-18 10:00:00<\/i><\/p>\n

From the writings of Lenin and Luxemburg to the global guerrilla activity of Che Guevara, to the Black Power of the Black Panthers and the Third World\u2019s plan for a New International Economic Order, the idea of imperialism and politics of anti-imperialism were a mainstay of academic and political vernacular throughout most of the twentieth century. \u00a0As we enter the twenty first century the idea of imperialism has seemingly disappeared, lost in the hubris of neo-liberalism and the idea that \u00a0there is no alternative. This symposium aims to rearticulate the idea of imperialism for the twenty first century through examining different theories and sites of imperialism. This will see the day journey through the theoretical narratives of Marxism, De-colonial and Post-Colonial theory and visit people, places and politics in the Caribbean, Kashmir, Middle East, Latin America and Africa. The keynote lecture will given by Professor Vijay Prashad, historian of the Global South, who will attempt to provide a clearer picture on what exactly has happened to the idea of Imperialism? And, moreover, how we might go about recovering the idea of imperialism and anti-imperialism in the twenty first century. Free and open to all.\u00a0 Spaces are limited for paper sessions.
