  1. Paris célèbre Aimé #Césaire et les 25 ans de la loi #Taubira
    actualitte.com/article/132317/
    Une soirée d’hommage à Aimé Césaire se tiendra ce vendredi 26 juin, de 18h30 à 20h30, à l’Hôtel de Ville de Paris, salle Tignous. Organisée à l’occasion de l’anniversaire de la naissance du poète martiniquais, né le 26 juin 1913, elle associera également la commémoration des 25 ans de la loi Taubira, qui a reconnu la traite et l’esclavage comme crimes contre l’humanité.

  2. Quoting Aime Cesaire:

    [...] Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his demon, that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not the crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the 'coolies' of India, and the 'niggers' of Africa.

    [...] People are astonished, they are indignant. They say: "How curious! But, bah! It's Nazism, it will pass!" And they wait, and they hope; and they hide from themselves the truth -- that it is barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the one that crowns, the one that sums up the everydayness of barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before being its victim, they were its accomplice; that this Nazism, they tolerated it before they suffered it, they absolved it, they turned a blind eye to it, they legitimized it, because, until then, it had only been applied to non-European peoples; that this Nazism, they cultivated it, they are responsible for it, and that it seeps, it pierces, it drips, before swallowing everything in its reddened waters, from all the cracks of Western and Christian civilization.

  5. As we are witnessing yet another round of the death spiral of imperialism, I was reminded of Césaire's concept of the "imperial boomerang": the domestic consequences of being an imperial power. So I drew him.

    It's my own translation from french, hopefully I kept it close to the original.

    I try to keep my decoloniality activities separate from what I post on Mastodon usually, but these days, you know…

  18. "On s'étonne, on s’indigne. On dit : « Comme c’est curieux ! Mais, bah ! C'est le nazisme, ça passera ! » Et on attend, et on espère ; et on se tait à soi-même la vérité, que c'est une barbarie, mais la barbarie suprême, celle qui couronne, celle qui résume la quotidienneté des barbaries ; que c'est du nazisme, oui, mais qu'avant d'en être la victime, on en a été le complice ; que ce nazisme-là, on l'a supporté avant de le subir, on l'a absous, on a fermé l'œil là-dessus, on l'a légitimé, parce que, jusque-là, il ne s'était appliqué qu'à des peuples non européens ; que ce nazisme-là, on l'a cultivé, on en est responsable, et qu'il sourd, qu'il perce, qu’il goutte, avant de l'engloutir dans ses eaux rougies, de toutes les fissures de la civilisation occidentale et chrétienne."

  22. "Une civilisation qui s’avère incapable de résoudre les problèmes que suscite son fonctionnement est une civilisation décadente. Une civilisation qui choisit de fermer les yeux à ses problèmes les plus cruciaux est une civilisation atteinte. Une civilisation qui ruse avec ses principes est une civilisation moribonde."

  24. "Gli scritti di #Césaire sembrano parlarci oggi di funzionari delle Nazioni Unite, conduttori televisivi e direttori di giornali liberali, politici imperialisti e burocrati riformisti, il cui pseudoumanesimo è “ristretto e frammentario, incompleto e parziale e, tutto sommato, sordidamente razzista”.

    [...]I crimini di guerra di #Bush sono rimasti impuniti, #Obama ha persino ricevuto un premio Nobel per la pace che ha rivendicato i crimini “ben intenzionati” dell’imperialismo statunitense. Anche i crimini imperialisti della #Russia sono stati accettati e tollerati senza conseguenze quando li ha commessi in #Siria o in #Cecenia. In #Ucraina sono inaccettabili perché sono commessi contro gli europei."
