<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Césaire's essay stands as an important document in the development of<br>third world consciousness--a process in which [he] played a prominent<br>role. <p/>--Library Journal<br> This classic work, first<br>published in France in 1955, profoundly influenced the generation of<br>scholars and activists at the forefront of liberation struggles in<br>Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Nearly twenty years later, <br>when published for the first time in English, <b>Discourse on Colonialism</b><br>inspired a new generation engaged in the Civil Rights, Black Power, and<br>anti-war movements and has sold more than 75,000 copies to date. <p/>Aimé Césaire eloquently describes the brutal impact of capitalism and<br>colonialism on both the colonizer and colonized, exposing the<br>contradictions and hypocrisy implicit in western notions of progress<br>and civilization upon encountering the savage, uncultured, or<br>primitive. Here, Césaire reaffirms African values, identity, and<br>culture, and their relevance, reminding us that the relationship<br>between consciousness and reality are extremely complex. . . . It is<br>equally necessary to decolonize our minds, our inner life, at the same<br>time that we decolonize society. An interview with Césaire by the poet<br>René Depestre is also included.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>CA(c)saire's essay stands as an important document in the development of third world consciousness--a process in which [he] played a prominent role. - "Library Journal"<br>
