Epistemologies from the Global South

<p>This book argues that the pervasiveness of the modern paradigm and its corollary the colonial matrix of power have led scholars of Negritude to think of Leopold Sedar Senghor’s work either as an anti-thesis to the anti-Blackness constitutive of European modernity or as another manifestation of the West as subject of history. As opposed to this tradition the book reads Negritude through the prism of endogenous African world views without the filter of the modern Western paradigm.</p><p>Print edition not for sale in Sub Saharan Africa.</p>
