Beskrivning
This largely new collection of essays explores how the history of empire has impacted the intellectual life of the Atlantic world through treatments of key figures in Atlantic theory, including Emmanuel Levinas, Frantz Fanon, Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Angela Davis, Leopold Senghor and Edouard Glissant. Out of these critical and comparative readings emerges a portrait of Atlantic theory as a distinct orientation toward complex relations of colonial power, memory of atrocity, negotiation of the aftermath of empire, and the creativity of the oppressed living under impossible conditions of violence.

Recensioner i media

In Atlantic Theory, Drabinski follows in the footsteps of the great Aimé Césaire by asking what kind of contact colonialism produced. What did this relation (or non-relation) yield on the level of thought? And what future world does it render either possible or impossible? The questions he asks are as urgent as the answers are invigorating.
