Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT In this essay, I reflect on the position of a postcolonized historian traversing space and time, thinking and linking to histories of European arrivals to Mexico and India.

I argue for a transregional decolonial approach to thinking about historical violence and the formation of disciplinary histories.
