Contours of Colonialism delves into the legacies of colonialism and the evolving dynamics of postcolonial worlds. Through critical discussions inspired by thinkers like Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Dipesh Chakrabarty, and Edward Said, we explore themes of representation, identity, and power in global history. From the silenced voices of the subaltern to the myths of Eurocentric modernity and the enduring impact of Orientalism, this podcast examines the ways colonial frameworks continue to shape societies and cultures. Join us as we decode the complexities of postcolonial thought and amplify stories from the margins in a divided yet interconnected world.
