As opposed to this tradition, Cheikh Thiam reads Negritude through the prism of endogenous African world views without the filter of the modern Western paradigm. The Africa-centred perspective that Thiam adopts leads him to postulate that Negritude functions as an Africa-centred philosophy that offers a groundbreaking critique of the limits of coloniality. He argues, in turn, that since Negritude is one of the most important intellectual interventions in Africana studies, reading it from an Africa-centred perspective will necessarily have repercussions on the ways we think of post-Negritude Africana scholarship. In this light, he explores the ways a decolonial reading of Negritude can clarify, nuance or even expand more or less pivotal interventions in the discipline of Africana studies that have developed in contradistinction to Negritude, namely, Ãdouard Glissant's 'Poetics of Relation', Paul Gilroy's theory of the Black Atlantic and Alain Mabanckou's conception of a more inclusive French Republic." --Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Negritude (Literary movement) $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Social epistemology $z Africa. 650 0 $a Black people $x Race identity. 650 0 $a Black people in literature. 650 0 $a Philosophy, African. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Race identity $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799666 650 7 $a Black people $x Race identity $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833987 650 7 $a Civilization, Modern $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863073 650 7 $a Negritude (Literary movement) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01035590 650 7 $a Social epistemology $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122446 651 7 $a Africa $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJkHrMyfHC67yqRTycbrv3 $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 830 0 $a Thinking Africa 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320010519.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=31AFE4ACE67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
