Lecture Hilbourne A. Watson: Reparations and the Caribbean problematique in global neoliberal perspective
The demand for reparations is as old as emancipation itself; however, the states that trafficked in slavery are not eager to apologize for slavery, much less compensate descendants of enslaved people or governments, considering that Britain borrowed a large sum to compensate former slave owners for the loss of their “property.”

Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao in a Regional Context
Centuries of intense and involuntary migrations deeply impacted the development of the creolised cultures on the Dutch Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. This volume describes various forms of cultural heritage produced on these islands over time and whether these heritages are part of their ‘national’ identifications. What forms of heritage express the idea of a shared “we” (nation-building), and what images are presented to the outside world (nation-branding)? What cultural heritage is shared between the islands, and what are some real or perceived differences?

De gevolgen van koloniale systemen werken tot de dag van vandaag door in ons dagelijks leven. Dat geldt ook voor kleding: in hoe mode wordt geproduceerd, maar ook in hoe zij wordt gepresenteerd, gedragen en verzameld. Er is nog nauwelijks een begin gemaakt met het vertellen van het verhaal van zwarte ontwerpers en zwarte modellen.

by Francio Guadeloupe

Most of us see the spotless buildings and streets, but most of us do not really see them.

Both national and international funding agencies increasingly require research proposals to incorporate multilevel collaboration in order to impact the lives of the people we do research with. As a beneficiary of such funding, the IMANAT (Imagining the Nation in the Classroom) consortium included partners from various disciplines from across the Kingdom. These collaborations raised some important questions: How to integrate various needs, demands and imagination, or better: who decides what is valuable to who? How can collaborations change during and after research? Does academic knowledge or research experience allow us any sort of ‘expert’ position? Must we produce academic papers and policy briefs only, or can we coproduce films, sounds and art collections? How indeed do we employ our creativity? This one-day symposium brings together artists, activists, various academics, and policymakers to share previous experiences and imagine new possibilities in Dutch Caribbean research.
