Third Biennial Conference of the International Association of Inter-American Studies

The Americas have a long history of colonialism; even the concepts 'America' and 'Americanity' date back to European expansion, invasion and conquest. As the success of the term 'postcolonialism' suggests, the colonial legacy is a relic of the past that is continuously rearticulated and reactivated until today.
The conference will adopt a broad concept of colonialism, which refers not to a single historical period but to a relational mode that creates asymmetric power relations and modes of exploitation.
