Recenzje

Jason Allen-Paisant introduces us to a pedagogy of spirit in which the rigid divisions of Western thought, and the rigid Western interpretations of Aim'e C'esaire, are transformed into a homage to the daily inspirited materialities of African/diasporic social poesis. The most original and inspiring reading of C'esaire in decades.
