“Pan-African Visions: Dismantling Imperial Legacies during the Cold War,” hosted by Mershon Center for International Security Studies

Thursday, October 26, 2-3:30pm, Derby Hall [Rm. 1039], 154 N. Oval Mall

“Pan-African Visions” features two international historians working at the intersection of African decolonization and the continent’s post-colonial governance. Aurora Alamada e Santos (Universidade Nova de Lisboa) will discuss the struggle against Portuguese colonialism, highlighting the role of revolutionaries such as Amilcar Cabral. Frank Gerits (Utrecht University) will situate this revolutionary struggle in the context of his new book, The Ideological Scramble for Africa, which explores the impact of African decolonization on global international relations during the early Cold War era.
