Internment Europe – From Colonial Practices to Contemporary Control conference (Tours, France)
An interesting moment to share! My presentation recording at the Internment Europe – From Colonial Practices to Contemporary Control conference (Tours, France), in November, is available to watch here:

I did a brief exploration of the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya through the interconnected prisms of forced migration, labor extortion, and land alienation, offering insight into Kenya’s anticolonial struggle. Here, resistance entailed more than armed guerrilla fighters in the forest or even legal battles.
Most especially, the feedback I got from this presentation made me reflect on ongoing conversations about colonial political struggles and their role in shaping broader systems of violence, power and governance. I would love to hear your thoughts if you take a look!
