CfP: Global Decolonization Workshop III: The Invention and Reinvention of Decolonization: Rethinking the ‘Waves’ Narrative

Was ‘decolonization’ a European invention designed to ease the ‘White Man’s Burden’ and pave the way for a neo-colonial system of extraction and dependency? Was it a Latin American invention intended to undo ‘the colonial system?’ Or was it an Indian, French Algerian or Caribbean invention? All the above? Is the received ‘wave’ narrative (first, second, third, fourth waves) currently used to tell the global history of decolonization still adequate to the task? Or would notions such as ‘invention’ and ‘reinvention’ be more useful?

We seek papers that address any of the following:
