Author: Christiane Bürger, Sahra Rausch (eds.)Currently, the significance of the colonial past for the present is fuelling public debate more than almost any other topic. This anth ology examines traces of the colonial past at a local level and follows Thuringia’s involvement in colonial structures on the global level. The contributions range from the early modern period to the 1990s onwards. The book takes stock of current research initiatives at Thuringian universities and presents the socio-political perspectives of decolonial initiatives and artists.The volume was produced in collaboration with artist Patricia Vester, whose graphic novel and illustrations, designed especially for this publication, provide inspiration for addressing the colonial past in and outside the classroom.ISBN 9783422802100.
