V. Y. Mudimbe: Undisciplined Africanism is the first English-language monograph dedicated to the work of Valentin Yves Mudimbe. Pierre-Philippe Fraiture charts the intellectual history of the Congolese thinker, epistemologist, and philologist from the late 1960s to the present day, exploring his major essays and novels. He highlights Mudimbe's trajectory through major debates on African nationalism, Pan-Africansim, neo-colonialism, negritude, pedagogy, anthropology, postcolonial studies, and a variety of other subjects, using these as contexts for close readings of many of Mudimbe's texts, both influential and lesser-known. A cutting-edge, interdisciplinary book, V. Y. Mudimbe elucidates the complex work of one of the most significant African thinkers working today.

Is ... a homage to Valentin Mudimbe. This collection of essays honours the intellectual legacy of Mudimbe, for decades now one of Africa and the diaspora’s most significant minds, by taking up the challenges – ethical, political, philosophical, literary, sociological, anthropological, psychological – his work poses. This book gathers a group of US- and Africa-based scholars, many of whom are long-time Mudimbe collaborators and colleagues, who use the questions posed, the critiques and insights offered and the paradigms constructed by Mudimbe’s oeuvre to understand the implication – and, in some instances, the application – of Mudimbe’s work in our moment.--Provided by publisher.

A prominent francophone thinker and writer from sub-Saharan Africa, V. Y. Mudimbe is known for his efforts to bridge Western and African modes of knowledge and for his critiques of a range of disciplines, from classics and philosophy to anthropology and comparative literature. The Mudimbe Reader offers for the first time a ground-breaking work of modern intellectual African history from this essential postcolonial thinker, including new translations of essays previously unavailable in English. Constituting an intellectual history of the humanities in the late twentieth century from an African intellectual’s point of view, The Mudimbe Reader provides an introduction and a comprehensive bibliography that frame four thematic gatherings of Mudimbe’s writings. Part 1 bears witness to Mudimbe’s attempts, as a university professor in the new nation-state of Zaire, to balance the postindependence discourse of authenticity with his training in Western philosophy and philology. Part 2 focuses on Mudimbe’s exploration of racial, ethnic, and religious discourses to reflect upon postcolonialism in Zaire and in the United States. In the third part, Mudimbe interrogates ancient Greek and Latin texts as a strategy to engage the legacy of antiquity for European and African modernity. Finally, the book concludes by focusing on visual culture and Mudimbe’s recurring attempt to elucidate how African "primitiveness" has been constructed, challenged, dismissed, and reinvented from the Renaissance to the present day.

Africa Beyond Inventions is a rich critical engagement with the work of V.Y. Mudimbe. For decades, Mudimbe advanced a distinctive and erudite critical project that contributes to various bodies of knowledge in fields such as philosophy, anthropology, theology, postcolonial studies, decolonial theory, literary criticism, cultural studies, prose fiction, and African studies more broadly. A decade after his retirement and in the expansive spirit of his work, this volume stages a productive engagement with Mudimbe’s remarkable and capacious body of work and the conceptual, epistemic, methodological, and ethical challenges it poses for the modern disciplines, specifically in relation to Africa. It situates Mudimbe in his proper place as a complex and significant thinker whose extraordinary contributions to various bodies of knowledge deserves to be recognised and better apprehended for what it has taught and continues to teach about the discursivity of the modern disciplines and the possibility of decolonising their colonising imprints in a moment that has been characterised as a decolonial turn. Through these engagements, the volume honours the intellectual legacy of one of Africa’s most brilliant minds and make his work accessible to a new generation of readers.

The Rift explores textuality, writing, solitude, and death in the context of contemporary African life, and at the same time examines the constitution and materiality of African subjectivity. V. Y. Mudimbe's writing is provocative, demanding, and distinctly modernist. In its compelling exploration of the production of African knowledge within or outside the interstices of imperial space, The Rift contributes significantly to contemporary debates about the liminal subject split - to use Homi Bhabha's phrase - "between the here and the there" - and most important, about issues of power and post-colonial epistemology.

Liberty In African And Western Thought written by V. Y. Mudimbe and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1988 with Liberty categories.
The theoretical African mode of thinking about liberty seems to stand in contrast to the view of liberty that has dominated Western philosophy. Western philosophy accepts as its starting point the notion of an unconstrained and uncontextualized "I" that is defined in relation to the self and its inner being. Greek, Cartesian, and classical European philosophy evolved an "I/it" model in which human freedom becomes a tool for mastering the universe. The African mode emphasizes a more communal "I" that is always connected to and in relationship with others. The attitudes and practices of the Luba of Zaire illustrate the concept of an "I" that is a subjective consciousness, contingent upon others and upon a socially-defined space. For the Luba, the "I" is never defined by an autonomous self, but by a group of others, and the exercise of freedom is predetermined by this fact. In the West, the primacy of the "I/it" model has paralleled hierarchical social and political systems of exclusion and domination. In contrast, the traditional African conception involves an "I/with" or "I/we" model, and freedom involves freedom for the group and for the individual in relation to the group. These opposing perceptions of "I/it" and "I/we" are resolved to some degree in the work of Rousseau, Freud, Marx, and many feminist theorists. (FMW)

Winner of the 2014 Brittingham Prize in Poetry, selected by Naomi Shihab Nye The word tyrant carries negative connotations, but in this new collection, Joanne Diaz tries to understand what makes tyranny so compelling, even seductive. These dynamic, funny, often poignant poems investigate the nature of tyranny in all of its forms political, cultural, familial, and erotic. Poems about Stalin, Lenin, and Castro appear beside poems about deeply personal histories. The result is a powerful exploration of desire, grief, and loss in a world where private relationships are always illuminated and informed by larger, more despotic forces. Winner, Midwest Book Award for Poetry, Midwest Independent Publishers Association"
