The concept of concurrences encompasses a broad and multifaceted approach to challenging the prevailing narratives of the past and present. Concurrent stories present a rich tapestry of claims to reality, fiction, and societal, cultural, identity, and historical dimensions, often engaging in complex and sometimes conflicting assertions.

Dominant Western narratives regarding colonial power relationships have been met with alternative sources, such as heritage objects and oral traditions, which have facilitated the inclusion and amplification of the voices of marginalized or subaltern groups. Concurrences aim to capture a multiplicity of voices and temporalities, thus fostering a relational and dynamic methodology. It serves as a theoretical framework that unravels the intricate workings of power, revealing asymmetrical power relations and illuminating the multifaceted dynamics of postcolonial issues and engagements across diverse geographical locations.

This anthology, an interdisciplinary endeavor, emerges from the convergence of scholarship from the humanities and social sciences. It explores the intricate interplay of multiple temporality in postcolonial contexts and engagements, drawing from a wide range of perspectives and methodologies. By compiling a collection of essays and research papers, this anthology seeks to contribute to the ongoing dialogue and understanding of the complex and multifaceted dynamics of postcolonialism in the world today.
