This podcast brings together different histories connected to the mortal remains of people and their violent dislocation during or in the aftermath of colonial rule; their meaning for the remembrance of slavery; their role in anticolonial and postcolonial struggles, memory politics, the undoing of scientific racism and the work of restitution.

It is the intent of this collection of histories, to present them as part of the work of mourning – a mourning that can initiate and strengthen transformation in the present.
