- Västvärldens historieskrivning präglas ofta av en dubbel optik där slaveri, rasism, folkmord och kolonialism förläggs till utomeuropeiska platser och sammanhang och avskiljs från positivt laddade termer som upplysning, modernitet, individualism och demokrati. Den postkoloniala teorin har vuxit fram för att på djupet undersöka och problematisera en sådan historieskrivning. Antologin Sverige och de Andra. Postkoloniala perspektiv innehåller välskrivna och teoretiskt vassa essäer som visar, ofta genom fascinerande historiska nedslag, hur kolonialismens föreställningsvärld och maktförhållanden fortsätter utöva inflytande även i samtidens Sverige.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this introductory chapter is to provide a brief background to one of the contexts in which the question of African identity must be situated—the postcolonial. The question of African identity and what constitutes “the African”—in philosophy, culture and arts etc.—cannot be understood outside the history of western colonialism. As K.A. Appiah puts it: “a specifically African identity began as the product of a European gaze.”

Same and other : negotiating African identity in cultural production
- 2001
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The idea of African Otherness has occupied a central role in discourses on cultural production in Africa, whether film, literature, music or the arts. These claims, articulated both by 'Western' and 'African' critics and consumers, means that particular criteria and standards are adopted in relation to cultural production in Africa. The claim to African Otherness is gaining new strength in the wake of globalisation, but it is also increasingly challenged by a number of contemporary artists. This book deals with the question of relevance and meaning of the signifier in various fields of contemporary cultural production in Africa: literature, film, sculpture, music, popular drama.

The white wo/man's burden in the age of partnership : a postcolonial reading of identity in development aid
- 2002
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Based on a study of two Scaninavian development NGOs in Tanzania, this thesis analyzes the construction of 'donor' and expatriate development worker identities and how these are manifested in development aid practice. While the thesis explores the articulation of 'donor' and expatriate development worker identities in a more general way, the identities are analyzed in relation to the policy of 'partnership' in particular: How are 'donor' identities manifested in the practices of development aid? How do they relate to the calls for partnership in which paternalism has no place, where 'partners progressively take the lead' and where communication is open and transparent? The thesis is based on interviews conducted in Tanzania in 1998 and 1999 and on an analysis of policy documents and other texts. Starting from the assumption that identities are constituted within discourse, this study situates and analyzes processes of identification within two contexts. First, it situates 'donor' identities within a postcolonial context and analyzes how these identities are informed by more general discourses constituted by colonial history. Second, it situates processes of identification within the development aid context itself. In particular, it analyzes processes of identification in relation to the economic inequalities which characterize this context. This thesis demonstrates the conflicts and tensions characterizing identification in the development aid context. It shows that identites reflect the partnership discourse itself which disavows paternalism. They reflect the influence of a long-standing critique of the eurocentrism of develpment, today most often articulated in so called 'post-development' texts. At the same time, the identities analyzed in this study also reflect the workings of quite different discourses which inform images of a superior, active, reliable 'donor' Self in opposition to an inferior, passive, unreliable 'partner', identities which in different ways contradict the policy of partnership.
