Abstract

A prominent francophone thinker and writer from sub-Saharan Africa, V. Y. Mudimbe is known for his efforts to bridge Western and African modes of knowledge and for his critiques of a range of disciplines, from classics and philosophy to anthropology and comparative literature. The Mudimbe Reader offers for the first time a ground-breaking work of modern intellectual African history from this essential postcolonial thinker, including new translations of essays previously unavailable in English.Constituting an intellectual history of the humanities in the late twentieth century from an African intellectual’s point of view, The Mudimbe Reader provides an introduction and a comprehensive bibliography that frame four thematic gatherings of Mudimbe’s writings. Part 1 bears witness to Mudimbe’s attempts, as a university professor in the new nation-state of Zaire, to balance the postindependence discourse of authenticity with his training in Western philosophy and philology. Part 2 focuses on Mudimbe’s exploration of racial, ethnic, and religious discourses to reflect upon postcolonialism in Zaire and in the United States. In the third part, Mudimbe interrogates ancient Greek and Latin texts as a strategy to engage the legacy of antiquity for European and African modernity. Finally, the book concludes by focusing on visual culture and Mudimbe’s recurring attempt to elucidate how African "primitiveness" has been constructed, challenged, dismissed, and reinvented from the Renaissance to the present day.

Abstract

This book offers a range of perspectives on the Africa–China partnership in the context of the Forum on China and Africa Cooperation (FOCAC). Incorporating historical, political, social and cultural dimensions, it offers innovative views on the Africa–China relationship that combine theory and practice, and critically examines the prospects of a Pan-African policy towards China, complementary to China’s comprehensive African policy. The chapters address a number of key questions, including: What steps are being taken to achieve a more coordinated approach and policy towards China on the African continent? Does Africa even need a collective strategy in the first place? How would a coherent policy framework affect Africa’s relations with Europe and other external partners? How do the pillars of the partnership align with the African Union’s Agenda 2063 and the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development? Philani Mthembu is Executive Director of the Institute for Global Dialogue, Pretoria, South Africa. Faith Mabera is Senior Researcher at the Institute for Global Dialogue, Pretoria, South Africa. .

Abstract

Was wissen wir wirklich von Afrika? Woran denken wir, wenn wir von Afrika sprechen? An eine Urlaubsreise, eine Safari, die einzigartige Landschaft oder an die letzten Nachrichten über Hunger, Aids, Kampf, Elend und Korruption? Wissen wir, wie die Afrikaner Rhythmus empfinden und mit dem Körper denken? Welche Vorstellungen von Gott, Zeit, Liebe, Freundschaft oder Weisheit sie haben? Dieses Buch gibt Antworten auf diese Fragen und bietet zugleich umfassende Einblicke in die afrikanische Geistesgeschichte seit den ersten Ansätzen menschlicher Kultur.
