Interview with Aimé Césaire / René Depestre. TOC
Summary:
[The author] describes the brutal impact of capitalism on both the colonizer and colonized, exposing the contradictions and hypocrisy implicit in Western notions of "progress" and "civilization" upon encountering the "savage," "uncultured," or "primitive." He reaffirms African values, identity, and culture, and their relevance, reminding us that "the relationship between consciousness and reality is extremely complex.... It is equally necessary to decolonize our minds, our inner life, at the same time that we decolonize society." -Back cover.
