Is er eigenlijk al een Nederlandse bespreking van "Colonialism" van theoloog / ethicus @NigelBiggar? De besprekingen vallen nogal divers uit, zo gezegd.
(Tijdens mijn opleiding heb ik wel eens een artikel van Biggar moeten lezen over de ethiek van Barth.)

So now we'll witness the birth of a new research field: decolonisation of the #decolonisation, probably soon to be known as "decolonisation2" or "decolonisation squared".

Angry scholars from the "Global South" (usually educated in the Global North) will demand grants and departmental positions to teach the guilty Westerners how to do decolonisation "properly".

It almost begs the question: why are they not doing all this in the righteous lands of the Global South? And if they are doing it, why are they not content enough with the opportunities and debates they can create there?

Another prime minister joins into the nationalist attack against the British Museum.

I recommend he reads @NigelBiggar's latest book on #colonialism before pushing forward with baseless accusations and unevidenced claims made only to strengthen his standing at home and abroad as the one that stands up to an evil empire he is the only one to see anymore.
