Roundtable | The otherwise Atlantic, or: Thinking African diaspora theories as universals  

Leiden University, Pieter de La Court, room 1.A20 Leiden

In the past decades, the universalist conceit of North Atlantic social and cultural sciences has been increasingly “provincialized”, not least because we increasingly ask the question whether and how African diaspora thinking builds an alternative transatlantic universalism, grounded in black experiences in North, Caribbean, and Latin America, and in South-South exchanges with Africa.

Panel discussion | Coercing mobility: Territory and displacement in the politics of Southeast Asian muslim movements

Online event

The experience of displacement has shaped the politics of many Muslim movements across Southeast Asia. This panel previews a special issue of Itinerario on coerced mobility, and the diverse responses of groups of Muslims in Siam’s incorporation of Patani, Dutch efforts to colonise Aceh, and anti-colonial movements like the Darul Islam in Java and the Communist Party's Tenth Regiment in Malaya.
