Global imperial designs, which have been in place since conquest by
western powers, did not suddenly evaporate after decolonization.
Global coloniality as a leitmotif of the empire became the order of
the day, with its invisible technologies of subjugation continuing
to reproduce Africa's subaltern position, a position characterized
by perceived deficits ranging from a lack of civilization, a lack
of writing and a lack of history to a lack of development, a lack
of human rights and a lack of democracy. The author's sharply
critical perspective reveals how this epistemology of alterity has
kept Africa ensnared within colonial matrices of power, serving to
justify external interventions in African affairs, including the
interference with liberation struggles and disregard for African
positions. Evaluating the quality of African responses and
available options, the author opens up a new horizon that includes
cognitive justice and new humanism.
