140 years after the end of the Berlin/Congo Conference (1884–85) that resulted in the division of the African continent among the industrial and military powers of the time, The Deberlinization Festschrift, curated by Ibou Coulibaly Diop, Franck Hermann Ekra, and Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung reflects on the urgency and potentials of a Deberlinization process—an endeavour to disentangle this complex of colonial appropriation, identify its after-effects, and question its epistemological legacy.
