Césaire: Discourse on Colonialism

On this episode we're going to be looking at the work of Aime
Césaire, focusing on his 1950 work Discourse on Colonialism,
Césaire was a Martinician poet and communist politician who was
one of the leading figures in the emancipatory movements of the
French-speaking colonial sphere, as well as a poetic voice
central to the cultivation of contemporary forms of radical
political blackness. In the discourse on Colonialism he
poetically and powerfully exposes the hypocrisy and ideological
brutality of European colonialism and its inherent dehumanizing
violence, a violence which not only debases the colonized, but
also dehumanizes the colonizer in its fascist becomings. Césaire
questions the abstractness of the universality that European
ideology pretends to embody, and encourages us to imagine new
living universalities of fraternity and abundance, shaping the
coming horizon of the decolonial future.
