In German (and more generally in European) schools, topics such as global entanglements, colonialism, transnational enslavement trade and slave labor in plantations are rarely taught. While the French Revolution is a major focus in the German classroom, students learn nothing about the Haitian Revolution, started and won by Maroon leaders, despite its close connections to the developments in France. Similarly, Africa and the African diaspora take no part in most curricula. Even when they do, the perspective and stories of resistance of the enslaved are largely omitted; an amnesia that is not helping to deal with current issues in Europe, as immigration, refugees and 'terrorists' attacks and the consequent induced and manipulated fear of the population are at the forefront of hegemonic narratives.

Moderated by Walter Mignolo
