In this learning session, Kjelld Kroon will share with us how Bonaire experiences colonial politics from the European Netherlands in the 21st century. Leading to the questions: How can it be that the Netherlands that speaks so much of human rights and equality is violating these principles so systematically in the so called 'Dutch Caribbean'? How can colonialism have ended when there are 'oversea territories' and can there be such a thing as 'fair' dependency?
