His writings examine the complexities of decolonization for African subjectivities and the possibilities emerging in its wake. In Out of the Dark Night he offers a rich analysis of the paradoxes of the postcolonial moment that points toward new liberatory models of community and humanity. In a nuanced consideration of the African experience, Mbembe makes sweeping interventions into debates about citizenship, identity, democracy, and modernity. He eruditely ranges across European and African thought to provide a powerful assessment of common ways of writing and thinking about Africa. Mbembe criticizes the blinders of European intellectuals, analyzing France's failure to heed postcolonial critiques of ongoing exclusions masked by pretenses of universalism. He develops a new reading of African modernity that further develops the notion of Afropolitanism, a novel way of being in the world that has arisen in decolonized Africa in the midst of both destruction and the birth of new societies, making the case for South Africa as its laboratory. Out of the Great Darkness reconstructs critical theory's historical and philosophical framework for understanding colonial and postcolonial events and expands our sense of the futures made possible by decolonization"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism $z Africa. 651 0 $a Africa $x Politics and government $y 1960- 651 0 $a Africa $x Social conditions $y 1960- 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Postcolonialism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073032 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 648 7 $a Since 1960 $2 fast 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Mbembe, Achille, $d 1957- $t Sortir de la grande nuit. $l English. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Mbembe, Achille, $t Out of the dark night $d New York : Columbia University Press, 2021. $z 9780231500593 $w (DLC) 2020045272 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020021740.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14CCF66E177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
