What interests me about the book isn’t just the thesis. It’s that, as he points out, people have seen this and written about it before. Decades ago. The other thing is the arguments he describes in detail, I didn’t know all of the people he discusses. And chronology gets clarified since he is looking globally.
There is a lot to say about this book which I should read again more slowly. He talks about how the local bourgeoisie continues colonialism while calling itself colonized, and how racism is transnational. He talks about Fanon and others I know, but also about people I don’t.
Axé.
