DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the African Studies program and the Histo
 ry Departments\, this lecture will explore the politics of historical reck
 oning in light of the recent clamour for the dememorialization of the lega
 cies of indigenous slave owners in Nigeria. This call started against the 
 background of the desecration and toppling of historical statues and herit
 age properties that occasion the Rhodes Must Fall protests in South Africa
  and the Black Lives Matter movements in the United States and parts of Eu
 rope.\n\nIn this lecture\, they will highlight the dangers associated with
  the activation of a politically charged discourse around the legacies of 
 slavery in a volatile context like Nigeria\, a federation of competing (if
  hardnosed) histories. They will argue that it is difficult to dismantle n
 ational monuments honouring the legacies of historical actors without infl
 aming the ethnic and religious sensibilities of Nigerians and opening the 
 floodgates of historical crimes and injustices.\n\nLocation: Arts Building
 \, Room TBA\n
