Colonialism is not just history - it is a spectre that shapes the present and darkens the future of the people of Africa and the African Diaspora. The plundering of African countries, cultures and knowledge systems did not end with independence. It continues in lost languages, in rewritten histories, in broken identities and in stolen artifacts kept in Western museums. People of African descent are haunted not only by what was taken from them, but also by the constant demand to reassemble erased narratives and reclaim what belonged to them.
