ABSTRACT In this article, I look at the nature and significance of Mu’ammar al-Gaddafi’s support to the Palestinian Resistance in his early years of power (roughly 1969–1980) and connect it to the broader anti-colonial, anti-imperial message that was an important part of his early years. My intention is neither to portray Gaddafi as a great hero nor emphasize his eccentricities to the point of obscuring all other aspects of his political persona. Rather, it is to provide balance to a discussion of a figure whose political ideas are often portrayed as being rooted merely in impulse and egoism. This latter portrayal was pushed by Western powers, providing them with justification for their at-times reckless approach towards Libya and its leader who posed a threat to the West’s interests. Ironically, the cartoon-like portrayals of Gaddafi that Western governments perpetuated demonstrate a point that Gaddafi tried to make, that representative rather than direct democracy was a problematic form of governance, causing those in charge to impose their will on the people. Arab leaders also disliked Gaddafi, in part due to their shift from Arab unity towards economic privatization; with such a shift came a certain complacency towards imperialism, colonialism, and Palestinian resistance.

ABSTRACT Building on Valentin Mudimbe’s claim that as soon as African mnemonic devices are removed from their societies of origin, they are inhibited from performing their social functions, this article argues that countless memorials to the enslaved are failing to perform the role they were built for simply because they are now included in collections where they are misclassified as ethnographic objects or African art. This article takes Mbali tombstones from the Kimbari of southwest Angola as an example of such a misclassification. It demonstrates that the writing of settler-colonial monumental histories and concomitant processes of ethnologization have resulted in these tombstones being made to represent a single ethnic group instead of being considered as memorials to the enslaved. It engages with the work of Carolyn Hamilton, Nessa Liebhammer and Dan Hicks to propose a way to remedy their misclassification and thus prompt a reparative rewriting of Portuguese and Kimbari histories. Taking inspiration from the Afro-futurist visions of Angolan movie director Fradique and Portuguese assemblywoman and activist Beatriz Dias, this article concludes by proposing three historical vignettes that reorder Portuguese archival sources and arguing for the restoration of some of the normative agency of the Kimbari.

ABSTRACT This special issue examines the connections among (post)colonial spaces forged in the struggle for national liberation and after. The focus on anticolonial/postcolonial connectivity indicates the existence of alternative forms of spatiality that go beyond the linear (and hierarchical) relationship between metropole and colonial spaces. Here we seek to challenge the dominant focus in the literature on the relations between colonial metropoles or hegemonic centres and colonized spaces. Rather we explore the ways through which colonized and postcolonial subjects cultivated knowledge ‘sideways’, meaning they inter-connected tactically, materially and intellectually without needing to call upon the imperial centre for interpretation or authorization. In surveying the connections between Algeria, Vietnam, Libya and Palestine, for example, or between Palestine and Mexico, between Islamic revivalist groups in the Middle East and the Asian subcontinent, in the making of Pan-Africanism and the anticolonial Caribbean, or the fragile moments of connections and solidarity in the Balkans - the articles in this special issue investigate a variety of anticolonial and postcolonial connectivities as well as a complex politics of solidarity that highlights both limits and blind spots but also untapped potentialities.
