Description
Fugitive, Where Are You Running? by Dénètem Touam Bona is a thought-provoking exploration of the lives and creativity of colonized and subjugated peoples. By turning the traditional narrative on its head, Bona highlights the experiences of those who have been hunted, rather than the hunters themselves. This book blends travel diary, anthropological inquiry, and philosophical reflection to reveal the hidden history of fugues - individuals who challenged norms and forms of control. In a world where surveillance and tracking are increasingly prevalent, Marronage, or the art of disappearance, has become a timely topic. Bona argues that we need to reinvent marronage and recognize the maroon as a universal figure of resistance. Through his work, Bona calls for a new approach to understanding refuge and the power of dreams and poetry in warding off confinement. This book offers a unique perspective on the importance of creativity and self-expression in challenging oppressive systems.
