About this document

Wilder, Gary (2015), "Freedom Time: Negritude, Decolonization, and The Future of The World. Durham: Duke University Press by jmfilo is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Th is book was born of an intuition while writing a conference paper about Aimé Césaire’s nonnational orientation to decolonization. I wondered whether it would make sense to suggest that the Haitian Revolution exemplifi ed Marx’s subsequent demand that the new social revolution draw its “poetry” from the future. All I wanted was one quote from Toussaint Louverture to set up a discussion of why Césaire committed himself to departmentalization in 1946. But I fell into a deep rabbit hole.
