The Review: Does Postcolonial Theory Cover Western Bias?

At nonsite, the art historian Blake Stimson throws some cold water on the currently fashionable injunctions to “decolonize your syllabus.” The problem, Stimson says, is that “decolonization” just doesn’t meaningfully apply to university curricula in former imperial centers. The idea that it does reflects a sort of “colonial narcissism.” For Stimson, decolonizing your syllabus” in fact involves not decolonization but “neocolonialism,” a term he takes from Sartre via Kwame Nkrumah, the first prime minister of Ghana and the author of Neo-Colonialism (1965). For Nkrumah, neocolonialism named the strategies by which the U.S. would succeed Europe as Africa’s colonial master. As Stimson paraphrases it, “The Americans’ goal was simple, Nkrumah argued: to finally knock Europe out of the colonial business by backing anticolonialism so that it might move in on the former colonies with its own very different form of neocolonial exploitation.”
