  6. «Tout s’effondre», l’économie précoloniale qui donne encore des idées.
    Le célèbre roman de #ChinuaAchebe qui oppose une perspective africaine autochtone aux récits coloniaux écrits du dehors peut encore inspirer, en mettant en lumière une économie fondée sur le partage et la solidarité.

  7. Representation

    [T]his is quite central to my fiction and to my analysis of the problems of creating a new nation today. Obviously, we can’t go back to a system in which every man is turning up in the village square—that’s in the past. But we have to find a way of dealing with the problems created by the fact that somebody says he’s speaking on your behalf, but you don’t know who he is. This is one of the problems of the modern world.

  9. @Jaden2 do you read #Fiction? I've got a great recommendation if you do

    Things fall apart by #ChinuaAchebe It's set in Nigeria in the 1890s and documents the effect of colonialism and Christian missionaries on a tribal community. It's not about violent invasion but more about how a culture gets absorbed and changes that of the local people over time. It's full of beautiful tribal proverbs and really gives a sense of a culture which is slowly being eroded

    It's short but deep
