Abstract
Abstract:This article examines the trajectories of British intelligence officer Eric T.D. Lambert and an incarcerated Afro-Colombian named Germán Angulo, whose intersecting stories reveal the post-imperial displacement of expertise in the 1960s, as well as the features of societies that imperial expertise misses: social/racial hierarchies and the nature of the politics that sustain them. The tension between British post-imperialism liberalism and Colombian ideologies of “racial democracy,” on the one hand, and the lived reality of race in carceral institutions on the other, demonstrates how decolonization’s redefinition of sovereignty, law, and belonging configured a global moment that reached even long-independent nation-states.
摘要:本文考察了英国情报官员埃里克·t·d·兰伯特(Eric T.D. Lambert)和被监禁的非洲裔哥伦比亚人Germán安古洛(Germán Angulo)的轨迹,他们的交叉故事揭示了20世纪60年代后帝国时代专家的流离失所,以及帝国专家所忽略的社会特征:社会/种族等级制度和维持它们的政治性质。英国后帝国主义的自由主义与哥伦比亚的“种族民主”意识形态之间的紧张关系,以及殖民地制度中的种族现实之间的紧张关系,表明了非殖民化对主权、法律和归属的重新定义如何构成了一个全球性的时刻,甚至影响了长期独立的民族国家。
