Can ‘Slavic’ Speak for Minorities? — Who Gets to Belong in Eastern Europe? - Talk 5
Crimean Tatars, Colonial Aphasia, and Ukraine’s Decolonial Horizon / Greta Uehling
This talk analyzes Russia’s imperial domination of Ukraine through the longue durée of Crimean Tatar dispossession, arguing that Crimean Tatars offer a crucial lens on Ukraine’s past, present, and decolonial future. Long racialized as Russia’s Others, Crimean Tatars were rendered legible through colonial tropes that produced enduring aphasia within Slavic and East European studies. Emerging sites of encounter, mourning, and recognition since 2014 point toward a bifocal decolonial project that requires disentanglement from Russian imperial power while simultaneously confronting and unmaking colonial residues within Ukraine itself.
