Past Imperfect

This book offers an interdisciplinary exploration of anti-colonial thought in its existential, Marxist, religious, and ethnophilosophical manifestations. Past Imperfect directly employs time - in its different guises (history/historiography, memory, temporality, and historicity) - as a tool to understand the decolonization of the humanities in Francophone Africa in the immediate post-WW2 era.
