Resolutely black : conversations with Françoise Vergès
Césaire, Aimé2019
Books
Aimé Césaire's work is foundational for decolonial and postcolonial thought. His 'Discourse on Colonialism', first published in 1955, influenced generations of scholars and activists at the forefront of liberation struggles in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean and it remains a classic of anticolonial thought. This unique volume takes the form of a series of interviews with Césaire that were conducted by Franoise Vergs in 2004, shortly before his death. Césaire's responses to Vergs' questions cover a wide range of topics. The book includes a substantial postface by Vergs in which she situates Césaire's work in its intellectual and political context. This timely book brings Césaire back into the present-day conversation on race, slavery and the legacy of colonialism.
