By Herbert Ploegman As Dimitris Dalakoglou argued in his inaugural speech “Anthropology and Infrastructures. From the State to the Commons”, on the 13th of June, “our humanity and our human lives” are truly at stake in the events unfolding at the borders of Europe. He referred in particular to the people trying to cross the Mediterranean while facing extreme risks of drowning, but also to the modified forms of governance in Southern European countries over the years that we understand as crisis.
1 CommentBy Marije Maliepaard My Master’s research is about African-Americans who return to Ghana after their ancestors got enslaved and brought to the Americas during the slave trade. My research group themselves have not physically lived in Africa before but they do have the feeling they return. A famous African-American and Pan-Africanist who also returned was W.E.B. Du Bois. He was one of the founders of the American civil rights organization for ‘colored’ people, NAACP. Eventually, he settled in Accra, Ghana, but passed away three years later. He is buried next to his former house, which is now turned into a museum.

Door Reinhilde K?nig en Marina de Regt De discussie over de gebeurtenissen in Keulen doet ons als feministen diep zuchten. Het debat rond seksueel geweld wordt al jaren gekaapt door rechtse politici en liberale onruststokers. Sinds de Amerikanen in Afghanistan oorlog voeren onder het mom dat meisjes weer naar school moeten gaan en de rechtse politieke spits in Nederland alles omarmt wat homo is, is een discussie over het beschermen van ‘onze vrouwen’ gevaarlijk dubieus. Een agenda waarin seksueel geweld en “vreemdelingen” in één adem genoemd worden, is een agenda die vrouwen- en mensenvijandig is en niets met strafvervolging van seksuele gewelddaden te maken heeft.
