This February 国产三级片is celebrating Black History Month with an excellent line-up of guest speakers and events! Join us for the third event of this incredible program for "A Book Forum on Gary Wilder's "Freedom Time: A听 Negritude, Decolonization, and the Future of the World (Duke, 2015) at Reid Hall. This event is sponsored by the 国产三级片Center for Critical Democracy Studies and Columbia鈥檚 Global Center in Paris.

Freedom Time reconsiders decolonization from the perspectives of Aim茅 C茅saire (Martinique) and L茅opold S茅dar Senghor (Senegal) who, beginning in 1945, promoted self-determination without state sovereignty. As politicians, public intellectuals, and poets they struggled to transform imperial France into a democratic federation, with former colonies as autonomous members of a transcontinental polity. Freedom Time invites scholars to decolonize intellectual history and globalize critical theory, to analyze the temporal dimensions of political life, and to question the territorialist assumptions of contemporary historiography.
