About
To define recent political, social and cultural upheaval as unprecedented is both to emphasize the crisis at hand and to negate its connection to what has gone before. In conversation with Philippe Sands, author of The Last Colony, about the Chagos Archipelago, two formidable chroniclers of the past discuss whether this is truly a historical rupture and what we can learn from history what brought us to this moment; and if so, what understanding and solutions can be found. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Caroline Elkins’ Imperial Reckoning exposed the brutal suppression of Kenya’s Mau Mau uprising, while Legacy of Violence challenged enduring myths about the British Empire. Adam Hochschild is an acclaimed academic and author such notable works as King Leopold’s Ghost and, most recently, American Midnight, has spent his career uncovering histories of exploitation, resistance and the struggle for justice
Rupture / Justice is a specially curated series of events examining the fault lines that are fracturing our times. Guided by Philippe Sands, award-winning author and one of the world’s foremost international lawyers, each event takes a thematic approach to bring together a panel of global voices to ask, when the world breaks, how can wounds be healed, who will tell the story, and where and when can justice be applied?
