Anti-Colonial Planetary Struggle: History, Humans, and Us
In this talk, I reflect on the question of history in my recent book, Remaindered Life, and on my own retelling of the dominant story of our global present in the wake of postcolonial, indigenous and Black feminist critiques of history and in the context of climate change. I delineate subaltern forces and practices of social reproduction at work in Philippine contexts of urbanization, the global service economy, and wars of security within the global capitalist economy in order to attend to other agencies and engines and timelines of change than what a humanist history would allow. If History participates in the project of reproduction of colonial power and colonial inhabitation, calling into question our own disciplinary social science and humanities scholarly stories, the method and regard I delineate here might offer instead one way of participating in the project of anticolonial planetary struggle.
