This book confronts the philosophical problems of otherness and identity through readings of the parables and fables of a colonized people, the Luba of Zaire. V.Y.

Mudimbe brings unusual insight to such a discussion: Here I am on the margin of margins: Black, African,...

Images of Africa challenges the widely-held idea that Africans are powerless in the creation of self-image.
