SUMMARY:“Belizean Mythistory and the Invention of Colonialism”
DESCRIPTION:\n“Does a place begin to disappear when its foundational myt
	hs are challenged?” This question (originally posed by a music journalis
	t) has been much on Matthew Restall’s mind as he researches and writes a
	 book on the history of Belize. The country is often dismissed as periph
	eral\, but he argues it is in fact central to the development in the Ame
	ricas of mythologies surrounding slavery and freedom\, identity and terr
	itory\, colonialism and nationalism. And having identified seven aspects
	 of Belize’s origin “mythistory\,” he has discovered that imagination an
	d invention underpin every single one—to an astonishing degree. In this 
	talk\, he will share the details of the dilemma he consequently faces.\n
