Our conversation starts with the struggles of decolonisation and moves towards trying to understand the role and importance a liberal education for functioning democracies. Are people in charge of their own lives or do they need to be empowered to take charge of them, and of their societies? And have Western democracies been failed by their elites, which abolished the guardrails that kept democracies functioning?

Using examples from classical literature, African history, and global museum debates, he critiques modern repatriation efforts for oversimplifying ownership claims. Appiah argues that the ownership and heritage of cultural artifacts are historically complex, traceable through ancestry, territory, and identity. This complexity often creates contradictions in restitution debates. Instead of a narrow focus on repatriation, Appiah advocates for a more nuanced, cosmopolitan approach to heritage and museum collections.Kwame...2025-02-0553 minUniverso GeneralistaUniverso Generalista#132a - Teoria da Decolonialidade e Descolonização Intelectual na África (Kavish Chetty - legendado PT-BR)Legendas : Português PT-BRKavish Chetty é estudante de doutorado no Departamento de Estudos Literários Ingleses da Universidade da Cidade do Cabo, África do Sul.
