Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

The European imagination shaped a vision of other continents as resource, ripe for ongoing extraction – creating processes that continue today. Based on original research in the Rhodes archive, this collaborative work examines the emergence of “planetary portals”, and considers how they might be decolonised.
