Description

In 2016, thirty intellectuals and artists from Africa, its diasporas, and beyond came together to reflect on the present and future of Africa. They gathered in Dakar and Saint-Louis, Senegal, to discuss new perspectives emerging from Afro-diasporic critical thought and to take stock of the renewal of ideas shaping the African continent. This book brings together the material presented at these workshops, exploring issues such as decolonization, social utopias, and new forms of production on the African continent. The authors examine how categories and frames of meaning have shaped Africa's dynamics and aim to produce new ways of understanding the continent's present realities and future prospects. The contributions highlight the interconnected nature of global and local questions, suggesting that the African question is increasingly a global one. This book will be valuable for anyone interested in Africa's past, present, and future, as well as those seeking to understand emerging critical thought from the Global South.
