Even though many of France's former colonies became independent
over fifty years ago, the concept of "colony" and who was affected
by colonialism remain problematic in French culture today. Seloua
Luste Boulbina, an Algerian-French philosopher and political
theorist, shows how the colony's structures persist in the
subjectivity, sexuality, and bodily experience of human beings who
were once brought together through force. This text, which combines
two works by Luste Boulbina, shows how France and its former
colonies are haunted by power relations that are supposedly old
history, but whose effects on knowledge, imagination, emotional
habits, and public controversies have persisted vividly into the
present. Luste Boulbina draws on the work of Michel Foucault,
Frantz Fanon, and Édouard Glissant to build a challenging,
original, and intercultural philosophy that responds to blind spots
of inherited political and social culture. Kafka's Monkey and Other
Phantoms of Africa offers unique insights into how issues of
migration, religious and ethnic identity, and postcolonial history
affect contemporary France and beyond.
