- This 280-page monograph tackles head-on a major question in postcolonial studies: the complexity surrounding the role of the intellectual during the period of decolonisation. It deals with a broad, complex background, reflecting on the history of decolonisation in different parts of the French Empire and on shifts in the role of the intellectual in French and francophone thought across the twentieth century. It also offers comprehensive and detailed readings of six of the most significant francophone anti-colonial thinkers, and combines analysis of major issues (e.g. the relationship between culture and politics) with close readings of key texts of the period.
