  • Colonialism Postcolonialism
    SECOND EDITION Colonialism/Postcolonialism is both a crystal-clear and authoritative introduction to the field and a cogently-argued defence of the field’s radical potential. It’s exactly the sort of book teachers want their stu- dents to read. Peter Hulme, Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies, University of Essex Loomba is a keen and canny critic of ever-shifting geopolitical reali- ties, and Colonialism/Postcolonialism remains a primer for the aca- demic and common reader alike. Antoinette Burton, Department of History, University of Illinois It is rare to come across a book that can engage both student and specialist. Loomba simultaneously maps a field and contributes provocatively to key debates within it. Situated comparatively across disciplines and cultural contexts, this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in postcolonial studies. Priyamvada Gopal, Faculty of English, Cambridge University Colonialism/Postcolonialism moves adroitly between the general and the particular, the conceptual and the contextual, the local and the global, and between texts and material processes. Distrustful of established and self-perpetuating assumptions, foci and canonical texts which threaten to fossilize postcolonial studies as a discipline, Loomba’s magisterial study raises many crucial issues pertaining to social structure and identity; engaging with different modes of theory and social explanation in the process. There is no doubt that this book remains the best general introduction to the field. Kelwyn Sole, English Department, University of Cape Town Lucid and incisive this is a wonderful introduction to the contentious yet vibrant field of post-colonial studies. With consummate ease Loomba maps the field, unravels the many strands of the debate and provides a considered critique.

Anderson Texas A & M University The intellectual has been defined as the one who always misses the mark but who, at least, aims very far. – Emmanuel Levinas1 Over the last two decades, the various attempts to “radicalize” Levinas have resulted in two interesting and important debates: one the one hand, there is the debate regarding the relationship between Levinas and colonialism and racism, and on the other hand, there is the debate regarding the relationship between Levinas and Judaism. Much to the detriment of both, these two conversations have largely been treated as separate issues, and when they have been brought together, the results have been either superficial or violent. For example, Robert Bernasconi and Robert Eaglestone have taken an identity politics approach, insisting that Levinas’s Jewish identity is a source of strength for projects that put him into conversation with colonialism.2 On this view, Levinas’s subaltern status provides enough distance between his work and Western imperialism that, with a few minor adjustments, his philosophy can be brought to bear on colonialism and racism without issue.

How can we possibly not hear that voice again tumbling down the steps of History: It's no longer a question of knowing the world, but of transforming it." In the 1950s, Franz Fanon boldly asserted: "There is a fact: White men consider themselves superior to black men." 2 Over five decades later, a majority of white Americans would deny this,3 but such heartfelt denials are often betrayed by social realities.4 The difficulties many African Americans * Student, Columbia Law School and London School of Economics and Political Science.

  • Portraying Fascism As a Colonial Understanding of Europe
    Háskóli Íslands School of Humanities History Portraying Fascism as a Colonial Understanding of Europe How Continuities of Imperial Expansion Shaped Fascist Ideology and Practices MA-thesis in History Pontus Järvstad Kt.: 180487-3879 Supervisor: Valur Ingimundarson May 2017 1 Abstract Within the context of the scholarly debates over fascism, this thesis explores continuities between the colonial and fascist periods in European history. There is much confusion among scholars about how to define fascism: whether it should be considered a comprehensive ideology or merely a system of rule. What most agree on, however, is fascism’s animosity towards democracy and plurality. This is often conceptualized as a rejection of the pillars of Western civilization built on the ideas stemming from the Enlightenment and liberalism. Yet, such a view obscures the fact that these “pillars” are embedded in European colonialism. Thus, as a European ideology, fascism cannot be easily divorced from other ideological traditions, such as liberalism, which were important for the perpetuation of colonialism and imperialism. While historical fascism is often seen as being alien because of its indescribable crimes against humanity, it was not only novel also but familiar to its contemporaries. It acted on a continuity of a colonial understanding, not only of the world but of Europe as well. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first introduces the theoretical framework by exploring the concepts of continuity and periodization and their use in historical representations and narratives. The second analyzes the diverse scholarly interpretations of fascism and shows how reevaluations of historical periodizations have influenced new critical understandings of fascism.

  • Aimé Césaire and the Crisis of Aesthetic and Political Vanguardism1
    Aimé Césaire and the Crisis of Aesthetic and Political Vanguardism1 John W. Maerhofer Aimé Césaire In his Lettre à Maurice Thorez, Aimé Césaire argues that the Parti Communiste Française (PCF) had been reluctant to address the “particularities” of decolonization in the declining French Empire, especially in Algeria and the French Caribbean, and was concerned about the party’s idealization of the Western proletariat as the subject of revolutionary transformation: The colonial question, cannot be treated as a subsidiary part of some more important global matter, as part over which deals can be arranged or upon which others patch up compromises they think they have a right to seek in the name of an overall situation which they retain the exclusive right to interpret . our colonialism, the struggle of coloured people against racism, is much more complex, indeed, it is of a totally different nature than the struggle of the French 1 This article is a shortened version of my chapter on Aimé Césaire from my Ph.D. dissertation, entitled “Philosophies of Confrontation: Aesthetic and Political Vanguardism, 1917-1956” (City University of New York, 2007) in which I analyze the evolutionary principles of revolutionary art within a historical context in the expectation of augmenting some of the conceptual distinctions between avant-garde cultural production and revolutionary politics, particularly within movements that sought to originate alternatives to the prevailing social order of bourgeois (capitalist) society. The focus on Césaire is meant to uncover some of the distinguishing elements of vanguardist art within its postcolonial context, an attempt to rethink the interrelationship between revolutionary communism and decolonization that I argue emerged most notably after 1956.

  • Aimé Césaire As Poet, Rebel, Statesman
    INTRODUCTION Aimé Césaire as Poet, Rebel, Statesman William F.S. Miles Northeastern University On 17 April 2008, at the age of ninety-four, the foremost Black French intel- lectual-cum-politician of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries passed away. Born in the northwestern fishing village of Basse Pointe on the southeastern Caribbean island of Martinique on 26 June1913, Aimé Césaire rose from hum- ble beginnings to become a giant in the annals of colonial and postcolonial francophone literature. As the holder of several elected offices, from city mayor of the capital of Martinique to representative in the National Assembly of France, he was also a significant political actor. He was largely responsible for the legislation that, following World War II, elevated four of France’s “Old Colonies” in the West Indies and Indian Ocean into full French states (départe- ments). A dozen years later he founded a political party that would struggle to roll back the very assimilating, deculturalizing processes that statehood (départementalisation) unleashed. One of the singular achievements of this towering Black figure of modest physical stature was his ability to combine these usually contradictory roles, that of reflective writer and activist politician. Yet there was a common link. For all his deference to the tight strictures of parliamentary rules and French grammatical structure, Césaire was a rebel. In how he acted to change France and in what he committed to paper, he rebelled against the tendency, some- times overt but usually insidious, to negate the value and dignity of Black cul- ture and Black individuals within a nation that defined itself as the world’s pioneer in equality, liberty, and fraternity.

A civilization that chooses to close its eyes to its most crucial problems is a stricken civilization. A civilization that uses its principles for trickery and deceit is a dying civilization. The fact is that the so-called European civilization—“Western” civilization—as it has been shaped by two centuries of bourgeois rule, is incapable of solving the two major problems to which its existence has given rise: the problem of the proletariat and the colonial problem; that Europe is unable to justify itself either before the bar of “reason” or before the bar of “conscience”; and that, increasingly, it takes refuge in a hypocrisy which is all the more odious because it is less and less likely to deceive.

  • Role of Colonial Subjects in Making Themselves Inferior in Chinua Achebe’S Things Fall Apart
    Advances in Language and Literary Studies ISSN: 2203-4714 Vol. 5 No. 6; December 2014 Copyright © Australian International Academic Centre, Australia Role of Colonial Subjects in Making Themselves Inferior in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart Zahra Sadeghi Sari, Iran E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.7575/aiac.alls.v.5n.6p.48 Received: 11/08/2014 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.5n.6p.48 Accepted: 29/09/2014 Abstract Chinua Achebe in his novel Things Fall Apart gives us a unique picture of life in Africa before the arrival of Christianity and colonization and the era afterwards. He shows how African people lost their traditional culture and values, replacing them with foreign beliefs. In this article, the way black people lived before the arrival of white people, how they encountered and reacted to white colonizers, in addition to how they converted to Christianity and subsequently to White culture, as portrayed in this novel, will be analyzed. The purpose of this study is to trace the roots of this rapid pace of colonialism back to when colonial subjects lost their original culture to the new-coming people and to what extent those colonized people were affectively actualizing their inferiority and subordination to the white society. Frantz Fanon’s theories on the relation between language and culture or language and civilization, as well as his discussion of White notion of Blacks and Blacks’ conception of themselves are discussed and analyzed in Achebe’s masterpiece Things Fall Apart to prove that black people attempted to make up for their deep feeling of incompleteness by imitating white people and forming a white personality in a black statue as a result of their own conscious volition.
