Description

Discourse on Colonialism by Aimé Césaire is an influential work that profoundly impacted liberation struggles in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. First published in France in 1955, it has sold over 75,000 copies to date and continues to inspire new generations of activists and scholars. Césaire's essay eloquently exposes the contradictions and hypocrisy of western notions of "progress" and "civilization," highlighting the brutal impact of capitalism and colonialism on both colonizer and colonized. He reaffirms African values, identity, and culture, emphasizing the need to decolonize our minds as well as society. An interview with Césaire by poet René Depestre is also included in this edition.
