Long Abstract

In addition to the calls to 'provincialise' the West and to decolonise the social sciences, there are now demands for global reparations and restitution made by the countries of the South and by allied movements in the countries of the North, concerning the past and present consequences of the asymmetrical relations between the West and the rest of the world. africologneDIALOGFORUM @ ECAS conference will examine the nature of the demands for reparations and restitution, the reasons for their current resurgence, the reception given to them in the countries of the North, as well as the conditions required for the implementation of a reparations and restitution agenda beneficial to the countries of the South.
