The Forum Kritika on Goa Before India aims to explore what it means to transit between Iberian colonial rule and new arrangements of power, and what happens to the past in the process. The Forum Kritika hopes that the articles generated will contribute to, if not lay the ground for, a comparative study of Iberian post-colonialisms in Asia, in turn supporting a larger project to craft regional and decolonial histories that are not Anglo-American centric. Closing date for proposals: Dec. 9, 2019.
