As a part of the visiting fellowship at the Institute of Contemporary History in Ljubljana, I had a chance to present my ongoing research about the role of war legacies in Yugoslav initiatives of anti-colonial solidarity.
Yugoslavia and its institutions and mass organisations invested serious efforts in diplomatic, financial, military and humanitarian assistance to anti-colonial struggle across Africa between the late 1950s and early 1980s. Centring on the exchanges between Yugoslav Partisans and anti-colonial liberation movements in the field of medicine, the lecture explored the role of memory and war legacies in Yugoslav socialist internationalism and initiatives of anti-colonial solidarity.
