Publisher Synopsis
"Diagne's gift is a text like Postcolonial Bergson, a model of rigor and seriousness, but also an occasion of real interpretative playfulness and innovation. This book is full of risks in the very same moment that it displays, at every turn, fidelity to texts and their genealogies." -- John E. Drabinski, from the Foreword "A truly necessary and crucial contribution to philosophical scholarship and postcolonial studies in all disciplinary manifestations." -- Donna Jones, University of California, Berkeley Read more...
