Sovereignty & Self Determination Strategies from Puerto Rico, Hawaii, South Africa and Okinawa

"The War at Hanapepe, Colonial Contexts" In the same spirit of coalition-building and the founding of Ethnic Studies (SF State), this panel broadly engages themes of independence, sovereignty, anti-imperialist action and solidarity at multiple sites including Hawai'i, Puerto Rico, South Africa and Okinawa. Each presenter meditates on the ways independence remains incomplete in these so-called former colonies.
