Abstract
Starting from his Canadian experience, the author explores the correlations between the reworking of past memory based on present needs, cancel culture, and claims for authenticity. Which is their impact on Western historical knowledge in the academic context? In the complex process of integration and assimilation, do certain expressions of the decolonial principle end up becoming new forms of colonialism?
