Beskrivelse
Summary:The worlds we inhabit are in profound crisis. What is at stake is not merely historical but deeply existential. The inherited frameworks of Western and postcolonial thought have said their final word. To make the Earth more habitable, we must think differently. Drawing on a bold reading of Achille Mbembe, Korassi Téwéché shows how this thought opens new pathways for both Western and postcolonial traditions – guiding them beyond their impasses. Beyond the Postcolony marks a decisive turn in Mbembe’s journey: from a critique of the »African sign« to a reflection on planetary sustainability, resilience, and equitable life in the Anthropocene.
