Description

Colonialism and Neocolonialism by Jean-Paul Sartre is a powerful polemical work that remains highly relevant today. In this collection of thirteen essays, Sartre applies his remarkable intellect to the French experience in Algeria and the West's conduct in the Third World. The outcome is a critique of Western imperialism that leaves its opponents bruised and chastened. Sartre's advocacy for violence as a legitimate response to repression may challenge readers' views on freedom and human rights. Nevertheless, this book showcases Sartre's commitment to using philosophy as a force for change in the world. First published nearly forty years ago, Colonialism and Neocolonialism continues to influence postcolonial thought and takes on added resonance in light of recent global events. This collection is an important work that will appeal to those interested in philosophy, politics, and history.
