Another thinker who knew how to imbue #concepts with #life was Frantz #Fanon.

#Fanon gives a unique weight to the immanently #temporal #phenomenon of #anticipation.

In #Fanon 's eyes, the first #wound of #racism is #shame or #indignity.

The tropes of #shame and #indignity are common in all recent #political #uprisings, in the #Arab world and #Europe especially. #indignados

Victims of #racism in #Fanon were #shamed and #dishonored, #condemned to always hide their #faces to themselves, their #kin, and the #world.

#Murmure - Name Death & Text, by Achille Mbembe shar.es/yMMIV via Chimurenga cc AchilleMbembeQuotes

I will be posting quotes via Eurozine mastodon.social/@eurozine. Thank You!

What's #known in the #English-speaking world as "#postcolonial #studies" and "postcolonial #theory" is #characterised by its #heterogeneity.

#Postcolonial #Thought is in large part #being #constructed as it #moves #forward

The #phrase #PostcolonialTheory is an #exaggeration.

#PostcolonialThinking derives both from #anticolonial and #antiimperialist struggles on the one hand, and #Western thought on the #other.

#Postcolonial #thinking is #fragmented, which is a #strength and a #weakness.

The critique of #Western #Reason and #universalism is chiefly concerned with #SelfGovernment and #SelfCreation.

However, this #critique is not limited to #ideas of the #DeathofGod or #DeadGod in #Nietzsche, #Foucault or #Sartre.

There is #violence #inherent in a particular #conception of #reason.

How can you #reconcile '#faith in #man' with the #sacrifice of them?

That is the question #AimeCesaire poses in #Discourse on #Colonialism, for example.
