Postcolonial Subjectivities In Africa

This book crosses the frontier of critical theory by illuminating the contradictory predicaments Africans confront at the turn of the 21st century. The essays recognize postcolonies troubled by state decline and increasing exploitation, dispossession and marginalizaiton, but avoid Afro-pessimism's reduction of subjects to mere victims. This book opens a fresh field for comparative research and theory on postcolonial transformations in intersubjectivity.
