Group description

The Project Group “Beyond colonial narratives” is a cluster of three research projects (ConnecCaribbean, ArCarib, The Darker Shades of Black) which focus on the history of the Caribbean and Mediterranean regions. Trust-IT Services supported the project group in developing a joint message and identity and provided hands-on dissemination support to help the projects promote their innovations in anti-slavery and racism research.

Caribbean history has generally been written from the point of view of the colonisers. To understand the regional challenges today, it is important to have a balanced historical understanding of the socio-politcal context of the Caribbean that goes beyond colonial narratives and recognises the indigenous perspective while also understanding the European and African influences.

The three projects are studying the history of the Caribbean, bringing new insights into topics including slavery, smuggling, colonialism, discrimination and identity.
