Discourse on Colonialism
“First published in 1950 as Discours sur le colonialisme, it appeared just as the old worlds were on the verge of collapse, thanks in part to a world war against fascism that left Europe in material, spiritual and philosophical shambles. . .This is a book about colonialism, its impact on the colonized, on culture, on history, on the very concept of civilization itself, and most importantly, on the colonizer”. From 2000 edition introduction by Robin D.G. Kelley
