Colonialism is not only a thing of the past. It affects people all over the world, in the north and the south of our globe, every day. Colonialism can be many things: a structure of power, inequality, violence - but also a structure of feeling. In exciting conversations with academics, artists, journalists, and activists, we shed a critical light on colonialism's affective lives and afterlives. Together with them, we discuss the urgent struggles of our time and the different visions of how to decolonize our present. Find out more on our website: https://affect-and-colonialism.net

It is more and more evident that the world faces an urgent environmental crisis. Global economies, based on colonial imaginaries of progress through resource extraction, have severely damaged the planet. But not everybody is equally affected. The ecological catastrophe further marginalizes people along racial lines. Today, we talk with anthropologist Tamar Blickstein about the colonial affects of environmental racism.
The discussion is informed by her research for LANLOSS, a project supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 846550
