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. \u003ci\u003eKafka's Monkey and Other Phantoms of Africa\u003c\/i\u003e offers unique insights into how issues of migration, religious and ethnic identity, and postcolonial history affect contemporary France and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Translator's Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Prologue: Thinking the Colony\u003cbr\u003e Part I: Kafka's Monkey and Other Reflections on the Colony\u003cbr\u003e 1.
