Our Colonial Inheritance explores the complex ways in which slavery
and colonialism continue to shape the present, and examines the
many entanglements of colonial knowledge systems and
infrastructures with our everyday lives. This publication comes at
a time when important conversations are happening about the role
that the colonial past has played in shaping our society, and how
we can engage with this past in the present. The use of the
term "inheritance" in the title is a conscious choice, used to
provoke what in our view is a different kind of relationship to the
past. Throughout the publication, the authors interrogate what it
means to inherit the (infra)structures of the colonial past, its
categories, its relations and even its objects, and how we can deal
with such bequests.
