SUMMARY:[Historikertag 2021] Anti-colonial liberation struggles in the short 20th century in a global history perspective
DESCRIPTION:In the early 20th century, anti-colonial resistance expanded to a global dimension that was marked by new transnational networks and the emergence of regional and global arenas for negotiating anti-colonial agitations. From the 1950s onwards, the centres and nodes of this resistance increasingly shifted from the colonial metropolises to the global South. Conferences and international organizations enabled the exchange between anti-colonial actors from different regions of the world, promoted a view of international contexts and offered space for the development of post-colonial concepts of order. Alliances of anti-colonial activists were, however, accompanied by permanent struggles regarding the interpretation and negotiations of hierarchies of race, class and gender, struggles which could quickly turn alliances into divergences and disentanglements. The section takes a look at anti-colonial actors and their perspectives on liberation and independence, thereby drawing a multi-layered picture of anti-colonial ideas and solidarities. The contributions cover the “short 20th century” from the beginning of the 1920s in the Weimar Republic, through the 1950s in Ghana, Egypt and the Afro-Asian region, to the 1980s in Tanzania, and thus make it possible to point out historical lines of tradition, discursive resonances, but also transformation processes with regard to regional centers and strategies of liberation struggles. The empirical contributions are based on a review of previously (completely or largely) unused archival holdings and field reports, which can be used to expand and question dominant narratives of anti-colonialism. In conceptual terms, the section contributes to the discussion of the relationship between nationalism and internationalism as well as state and non-state forms of anti-colonialism.
