Torch Goes Digital! Decolonisation

“Prescription of the correct cure is dependent on a rigorous analysis of the reality.” - Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Decolonising the Mind: The Politics of Language in African Literature

Our latest TORCH Goes Digital theme is “Decolonisation”. We’ll be looking back at the wealth of content from our extraordinary researchers both at Oxford University and around the world. Featuring work from the CPAGH network, the Oxford Empire Project and across TORCH, we are pleased to showcase a range of insightful content.

The next Big Tent! Live Event! on Thursday 22nd October, Talking Afropean, will also offer a chance to explore this theme, as Johny Pitts discusses his award-winning travelogue Afropean with Elleke Boehmer and Simukai Chigudu.

This week, we will be highlighting content including:

• On Being Unprepared (For Our Own Times)
• Book at Lunchtime: Empires of the Mind
• Colonial Ports and Global History
• Global Hungers: The Problem of Povery in Post-colonial Literature
