ISSUE 24

COLONISING AND DECOLONISING: EUROPE-AFRICA RELATIONS IN THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES

Scientific coordination:
Isabel Castro Henriques (Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal)

Issue 24 will be published continuously between July and December 2025 and includes a Dossier in which we seek to reflect on European colonialism in Africa in the 19th and 20th centuries, trying to explain, through current historical knowledge, the colonial fact - one, similar, transversal in its ideas and practices - structured in different territorial and national strands, and emphasising the deconstruction of myths, ideas and theories that followed one another and metamorphosed to legitimise and justify colonial violence. It is also about giving a voice to Africans, so silenced by the colonial system, by listening to their interpretations of a reality from the near past that left significant marks on their daily lives.
