Synopsis

Each of the essays gathered in this volume brings to the fore through conversations, agonal readings, and perspectives, different ways of establishing contacts with the pasts we call postcolonial, which breathe and inhabit the writings of Frantz Fanon and Édouard Glissant. We call them postcolonial because the understanding of that term, in the numerous ways of approaching it that it has had in the last 40 years, leads us to a close relationship with everything that in our age and geography remains open, in dispute and is subject to intervention. against modern colonialism.
