Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Some human rights scholars have argued against reading anti-colonialism in Africa or elsewhere as human rights movements. This is based partly on the assumption that anti-colonialism was essentially a political struggle for collective self-determination. This is mistaken. Just as colonialism was more than simply the denial of the right to self-government, so too was anti-colonialism more than a struggle for popular liberation. Apart from the denial of the right to collective political self-determination, colonial states were implicated in the violation of individual and collective economic rights through forced, exploitative and repressive labor policies and practices. African opposition to these practices where articulated in the language of worker's rights and took the form of protests and strikes that became linked with the anti-colonial and international labor movements. This paper examines the significance of the labor question within anti-colonialism and argues the case for reading these struggles as part of a nascent international economic and social rights advocacy movement.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
