Notes on emancipatory collaborative historical research

Practicing historical geography

Auteur :
DUNCAN, J.

Description :
As much historical research relies on European colonial records, often it is viewed as a theft of heritage, a re-contextualization of cultural heritage and identities. Duncan suggest ways that Western researchers can work towards decolonization of histories and cultures rather than recolonization. He draws on his reserach on Tamil migrant laborers in Ceylon to illustrate the ways in which their actions and indigenous perspectives can be restructured and British colonial myths can be deconstructed. - (SLD)
