Cultural Appropriation Resources
For Imperialism III presentation
Last updated Oct 2023
Disclaimer
Some of these resources are from different parts of the political spectrum. Information to dismantle the empire is important regardless of where it comes from. Not accessing or sharing factual information because we don’t like who wrote it means that critical information is withheld by gatekeepers.
Decolonizing is our priority so don’t be distracted by the left / right debate (which was invented by white men).
Check out my next events here because everything I do is connected.
