we don't colonialism is not a main factor. so in terms of media is as it's private schools or government schools, we often learn from the british era. and then even our curriculum after independence is mostly british focused. so there's a lot of need to involve historians and other pedagogical forms to coal, right. and pedagogy, cup looks really do you think this history shapes the 2 days while adult? all future in any way? yes, of course it shapes and we were talking about races and the fact how we think about ourselves and about how to think of us. so, which also means is a big chance to teach shape the right to empower young humans to learn more. i believe that having different stories, they're not just focus from the west and also are told from an african viewpoint is very important, which we can see throughout quantization is lacking. whereby most of the evidence is recorded by the western world, and it isn't very accurate for a lot of us. they generally like young people, i don't of myself all my cultural was and they ex

while we really hope the memorization commemoration of colonial but also anti colonial history in europe and in germany, we chose to the balloon conference was sort of that it moves more into the main stream into the center of society and become sort of like normal part of memory culture that gets acknowledged that ultimately finds its way into the curriculum that hasn't gone very far yet. so we hope that in a way, also to accept that this happened to you and not to be in denial because broad society is a part of society, is also in denial on the consequences of colonialism. so the 2020 full berlin advocate conference concluded with strong demands from the panel of experts on issues ranging from human rights to trade. as a call for europe and pause to account for the colonial legacies and not joined by default following journalist end of the of the book, africa is not a country. welcome to the program depot. now, in your book, you make the link between the colonial era and its impact today. when you look back up this, the billing column, friends, and a 140 years on. how would you sum up

on the consequences of colonialism. of the 2024 berlin advocate conference concluded with strong demands from the panel of experts on issues ranging from human rights to trade as a call for europe. and paused to account for the colonial legacies and not joined by people for lane journalist and also of the book. africa is not a country. welcome to the program depot. now, in your book, you make the link between the colonial era and its impact today. when you look back up this, the billing column, friends, and a 140 years on. how would you sum up this kind of commemoration if, if were to describe it that way? yeah, i think for me and thank you for having me today. i think for me, the most important thing is using this on to the, to remember what happened at the, by the conference and how it is impacted the foundations of what in africa. i think it goes beyond simply just commemorating the subjects acknowledging it happened, but ensuring that's going forward. this event is at the core of, you know, what we teach the young p

life without colonialism. so the 2nd question was about, how do you guys feel about deadline? is because the student feel like a gentleman didn't do anything good. they were harsh, so they killed a lot of people and like they, they fought like rebellions like much money. my do a 1000000 like a machinery so like people should like so it was very harsh. the price . okay. i see the hand here. although jeremy do a lot about stuff, i quite enjoy the country. i think they are very, very interesting country. and i think they still have a big impact in terms of near right now. for me, it was a bit challenging. learning about cooling isn't because i'm from both background german an offer can and it's hard to believe that your own people could do that to your other culture in the way. and so it was kind of difficult growing up. thank you so much, remy. you are the cultural curator. yeah. and you walk around black and african history and you was born in pennsylvania, but later on, grew up in germany. how do you feel like

how has this conference impacted the way, at least for my colonies, particularly african colonies on us that you know, place themselves in the well today when it comes to just international interaction and the way deals are done and trade and international politics and all of that. as yeah, i mean, are, you do still have, you know, a lot of countries across africa who have strong ties with that for my, you know, colonial rule is, but also the way in which the conference crate to these countries, as i said, you know, these countries was essentially built to fail and these countries were century created as business arrangements. and so that is what the functions of having to reckon with up until today. and the way in which i think countries are considered when it comes to sort of the trade deals. and you know, when it comes to the way in which, you know, we are treated, it really has had a lingering impact inside the negative impact on our ability to present who we are to the rest of the world's individual hundreds. and that is really the legacy of, of the filing confidence. you know,

owned in effect by the colony's government.ple worked together, shared and shared alike in the total production of the colony. it went like this. there was a common store house. each family brought all its produce of whatever kind to the store house. the government of the colony allocated the goods on the basis of equal shares for all. this was the christian spirit of sharing. our forefathers were people basically motivated by christian principles and many felt they would best progress under this economic arrangement and have full freedom, also, they thought they had an ideal economic system. even among the dedicated christians, however, with great measure of freedom the theory of government ownership of property and communal living did not work in practice. a few of the less indust trust colonists discovered no matter how little they produced and went to the store house, they had the same as their neighbors. they began to loaf, and the industrious began to slowdown, also. as the production of vegetables and grains and meats, t

this is 20 years after british rule the colony was transformed. a sparsely populated military outpost to, a nation plantation export colony of 4000 people, most of whom were enslaved. the war of independence interrupted that transformation and turned to st augustine into a refugee camp for loyalists. the number of people ballooned from the 4000 locals to 10,000 people by 1778, and then 17,000 after the evacuation of charleston and savannah in 1782. well, during the war of independence, spain, like france, had entered the conflict against great britain to try to weaken its european rival. and during the peace of paris in 1782, in 1783, spain to trade for gibraltar. they had stacked up a lot of places that they conquered and occupied the bahamas and mobile and pensacola. but britain was not willing give up. gibraltar and spain had be satisfied with reclaiming the gulf of mexico and, keeping what came was now known as west florida, with mobile and pensacola, east florida, including the town of st augustine and its fortress, which guarded importantly

swept through the colonies. >> we've been talking about the founding of the american colonies, and we're getting now into the 1700s. today and this week i want to focus mostly on religion in the late colonial period and the coming of the great awakening in the 1730s and '40s. and i know this has been on you all's minds since you have a paper coming up. we're going to get to some background on religion in the colonial period and the leadup to the great awakening, some of the overview of what happens in the great awakening and, hopefully, that'll set you up better for your papers. you can see here on the screen we have an image of george whitfield who is the most famous preacher of the great awakening preaching in london there in the 1730s, 1740s. he is the sensation of the age, but we'll talk more about him when we get there. first, i want to take a look at the background to what's happening in 18th century america with regard to religion. we've talked about some of this already before in class about the scope of religion and religious commitment across the colonies. if you look first at

the first was to prevent stealing slaves before they left the colony. and a perceived rise in crime. he claimed that vagrants were, quote, roving this city, robbing and even breaking open houses. he said those who failed to present themselves would reveal they wished to continue in this bad way of life, but he was trying to prevent those transgressions. cespedes did not state his actually underlying goal but we can use our knowledge of people's memory from this moment backwards into the 18th century to see highway spanish florida stood to benefit from this proclamation. the rivalry recognized the value. from the 1730s the spanish had a sanctuary policy from slaves who fled from british south carolina and settled in spanish florida as converted roman catholics who now had freedom. when this population grew, it not only subtracted laborers from the british empire, but it also added simultaneously contributors to the chronically undermanned society and even armed them in defense of the colony. the british empire tried to buttress its fledgling colony of fl

so here to to a room full of colonial officials. the goal expressed a willingness to change what independence was not. on his agenda, francis greatness depended on it seemed disappointment spread across the colonies. 7 months later, in june 1944 all night forces landed in norman g. and then in august and this off of the war was not over yet. but the reality for the colonies was harsh and would lead to get more bloodshed. victory in europe was on the horizon. so the french army had to be whitewashed, so that in the eyes of the world, it would look as though it was the people of friends who were liberating themselves . so the government decided to de mobilize several regiments of senator lee's wife, woman, and other african troops to speed up their return to africa. they would promise that they'd be paid as soon as they arrived in the car. the rifleman to reset me basically on to additional i'd be a great deal holding on to see how y'all seem to get in the back of the car. so or you know that come on up to about the pool. the time you

it's from the colonial period on. this is a consistent pattern in colonial indian warfare and then united states in wiping out villages during the revolutionary war, actually. but once it subjugated native people, what does it do? it relegates them to the worst tracts of land in the continent where they can barely make a living. and it takes their kids from them, takes their kids from them, and forces them into boarding schools to try to de tribe allies. that's my point about culture. the united states has signed on to a u.n definition of genocide. take a look at it. but i think the definition fits. it includes, by the way, taking people's kids from them. so, you know, this is this is a word. that understandably gets people's backs up. this makes people defensive. and let me say this. when you study native america like i do, you see the united states through a new set of eyes, is a valuable prospect to have. and i think everyone in this country would benefit by taking a deep breath and looking this difficult history s

the ranks of colonial troops with sean france had been defeated. the white colonizer was not invincible. marcia pretends government in vichy collaborated with nazi germany. was shown to go, made his famous calling to the 18th of june, to find con. but he stood alone to resist and to liberate france. he had only one option to ronnie the empire, to his cause, starting with us in august 1940 is felix a boy. the 1st black gulf know of chide, joined to go the soon cameroon, the congo. the bone and an odd is joined with this level of support. the goals could not prepare for the liberation of occupied france. support for the general and marshal tire, respectively split the entire into or something they might, i can do while she they listen. so in the beta said, i'm a ghost on today that is in the video blended to clear as is it out loud, even if the one that will foster mom i'm new to as well as well as food up the way . if you're shot, the big size is all means to it. uh, i mean, of course not this, not a good over the course of several months in bottles

the 2nd truth is that colonialism is not a theme of the past. colonialism is over, but neil colonialism is still alive and all the tools for perpetrating the colonial system are still there. the political control of our countries has continued. there are some media today that have become weapons of mass destruction, but that requires a mental de colonization for each of us to understand that these imperialist and colonial policies must stop. we must offer new alternatives in our countries. new responses, answers for an economist, economic plan, generate internal resources, and create capabilities. it all starts with the mindset to succeed. what can we maybe get them at all to you? and sputnik are probably the last media to know to means of mass destruction, which are precisely a means of mass media and a means of co operation. as we launched mind blowing outdoor advertising for all tea in africa. amazing because it shook the imagination of, for example, joseph burrell, not smell. he complained when he saw our advertising fuel. and as soon as the ot brand appears, videos are immediately

so the 1st truth is that russia is not a colonial power, has never been a colonial power as no colonial legacies. on the contrary, has been a long side african peoples and other peoples around the world to help them escape the colonial system in a certain their sovereignty. the 2nd truth is that colonialism is not a theme of the past. colonialism is over that button. you know, colonialism is still alive, then all the tools for perpetrating the colonial system are still there because of the political control of our countries. it has continued. there are some media today that have become weapons of mass destruction that requires a mental de colonization for each of us to understand that these imperialist and colonial policies must stop. we must offer new alternatives in our countries. new responses, answers for an economist, economic plan to generate internal resources and create capabilities. it all starts with the mindset to succeed when they get them at all to you. and sputnik are probably the last media to know to means of mass destruction. without precisely a means of mass media as a

a classic case of neo colonialism. the essence of that policy is simple. fronts abdicated from all responsibility for social and economic transformation, but kept the countries within its sphere of influence and interest. from since the old governments of sensitive sometimes a blind eye, the corruption of nepotism. as long as they said french business interest and support in front on the international stage, desirable governments were rosa thrown either by cruise or direct military intervention. the republic of law they use believe to have gained independence on the day. it withdrew from the french community, the colonial organization established by the 5th french republic. on these 1st president, monday bochita was one of africa's most prominent and solid politicians. these at the cost for the countries, multi lateral development with industrialization supported by socialist countries and social transformation gear. to uphold molly, out of the french franks on despite huge pressure from france, he was eventually overt

things that still go want to talk about colonialism and also to inform us. and to learn from each other. where do we see colonialism in issues like said in issues like international uh, development and issues of, of age and so, and as of it was right here, a 140 years ago with the europe and colonial powers gathered for the berlin africa conference of the building where the man no longer exists, it was damaged in world war 2 and was late demolished. what does exist, though, is this plaque, which commemorates events and contains some important historical information, but it's easy to miss as one walks past here. and that's somewhat symbolic of the way in which the berlin conference and his last thing, legacies. i remember in this part of the world this modest display at the side highlights the african resistance to the european colonial scramble. as well as the ongoing civil society efforts to keep the conversation alive. this is part of a series of exhibitions arranged with berlin's museum foundation nicholas church. now a museum. there are 2 exhibitions on

to shine the spotlight on billions colonial history and keep its legacy in focus. the berlin conference of 188485. i was even when it happens. very consequential for the african continent, and it continues to be so simply because the consequences, the repercussions offered. and that's been ignored broadly in germany. you know, number one is obviously the type of anti up like racism. and so colonialism has not entered the member we call culture and your on germany broccoli. and that's why we hear it is important to have such an event to talk about, you know, the legacy of the ability to talk about that violence. is that still a good one to talk about the meal colonialism and also to inform us and to learn from each other. where do we see colonialism in issues like said in issues like international uh, develop them and, and, and issues of age. and so, and, and so it was right here, a 140 years ago with the european colonial powers gathered for the bell in africa, conference of the building where the meds no longer exists. it was damaging world war 2 was late, demolis

and so colonialism has not entered the memory called culture. and you're on germany properly, and that's why we hear it is important to have such an event to talk about, you know, illegal signs the come the point of the ability to talk about the violence. is that still a good one? to talk about the meal colonialism and also to inform us and to learn from each other. where do we see colonialism in issues like said in issues like international uh, develop them and, and, and issues of, of age and so on. and so it was, is right here, a 140 years ago where i think europe and colonial power has gathered for the berlin africa conference of the building where the man no longer exists. it was damaged in world war 2 and was late demolished. what does exist, though, is this plaque, which commemorates events, and contains some important historical information, but it's easy to miss as one walks past here. and that's somewhat symbolic of the way in which the berlin conference and his last thing, legacies. i remember in this part of the world this modest disp

of both its colonies. does guys dispose of these territories? numerous officially silver and african states, the full under frances, circled from the freaking sphere of influence. it's no wonder that any respondents on hearing the word colonialism follows it up with the word products. and the relationship between from somali, formerly french so done, is a good illustration. the point is i will try a cell phone on your money. it's one of the ones you know. yeah, this is why didn't oh yeah, this one yet. i didn't, didn't you room the, there was, this is really, i never, i'm a part of what else comes up us ways done 1st 3, a visual interest or any one looks into the history and they'll say that the french would not welcomed with open arms. the colonial agitation molly was violent, uncompromising, and bloody the or the one year ended up june, attempted to come by and different x to them like i thought she thought that i could do sonya store asap and come wooded on the 2 ladies and the new put any additional an

the colony governor william bradford. but the one at berkeley was the one that was official because it was ordered by england and it was to be done perpetually and annually, which it was. so that makes a difference between the thanksgiving at berkeley, how that's different from the pilgrims and mass jesus and other thanksgivings at the time. plus, it was two years earlier in those days, thanksgivings were prime eerily a part of the new england lifestyle. there was also a lady burton by the name of sarah josepha hale. she was a 73 year old magazine editor, and she had been trying for 15 years to get one of the presidents of the united states to listen to her. she was very well thought of in the united states in those days and quite influential. well, eventually, after 15 years, abrahcolnid listen to her and designated the official thanksgiving day. it was five days after he met with her that he did that. so he was it is said in a washington post article i just read recently that she may have had some influence on him with

they spent most of their time the middle colonies, the furthest south they ever was yorktown. and that was because urged them to get down there as fast as they could. they were mostly in rhode island, new york. they fought the battle saratoga. they fought battle of germantown. they fought in battles around new york city. these canadians were primarily in the northeast and they also had correspondence, their friends and family in canada knowing full well that no one was punished for being favorable to the americans. it would have been easy them to slip across. but repeatedly in their letters they assert their rights as we are part the cause. we are part of this larger movement of liberty. they embrace this idea, but they also begin to encourage americans. you know, you did tell us that canada would be free. what happened to that. and throughout the whole invasion, they're trying to keep while they're down. the states are continually petitioning. can we just go invade canada one more time? one more time. a second time to the right. like we'll get it and marquis de lafayette is i

the colonial agitation molly was violent, uncompromising, and bloody. the one year ended, june. attempted to come by and pick up an exit. i'm like i thought she thought that i can do a song, his thoughts. very simple. come wooded on the 2 ladies and uh the new community that's wrong. and that is this task. i just wanted to extend them on the bus and won't let me make notes. we wanna make sure that there's x i'm 3, she said no, got a lot of money. so i'm wanting to to set a new car. just check i'm, i will, i that i in the wait list, any fortune buddha, you may have had a story on the scene. go back to the civilian, have 2 imaging of some of your friends to have a call in. but other than what some of the shop is usually that got some web tension of images through challenge as well. jenna is whatever they're unlimited. what's the amendment been aggressive? leveled prosper, oath no progress of civilization. tamale. colonial ization destroyed the established states with their international ties, laws, culture and heritage. in $1236.00 and for us on the go to

of continued indigenous power, a indigenous influence, reshapes the currents of english colonial colonialism in north america, and which is what the how does the british crown respond? in 1763, they say, well, you know, you're kind of right. you know, we can't control this. and we were going to start allying or or trying to negotiate or diplomatically resolve this conflict. so the british imperial authorities passed a proclamation in the fall of 1763 that prohibits the settlement of anglophone settlers west of the appalachians, known as the royal proclamation, 1763. and there are maps and things that are kind of illustrative of this history highlight that the interior is supposed to be reserved for indians and the new of evolving policy of the british monarchy and its parliamentary and north american, british, imperial or english imperial have initiated. so in pennsylvania that country settlers weren't very content with this. resolution or attempted resolution of indigenous concerns and many feared indians above all others. and they pressure the legislation as some of us know here. but i thi
