The aim was to take stock of the renewal of Afro-diasporic critical thought and to discuss the new perspectives emerging from the ongoing projects constructing political, cultural, and social imaginaries for and from the African continent. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book brings together and makes available to the English-speaking world the material presented at the 2016 Ateliers de la pensée – Workshops of Thought – in Dakar. The authors deal with a wide range of issues, including decolonization, the development of social utopias, and the pursuit of new forms of political, economic, and social production on the African continent. Running throughout is a constant concern to interrogate the categories and frames of meaning that have served to characterize the dynamics of the African continent and a shared desire to produce new frames of intelligibility through which to see Africa’s present realities and its future. The contributions also attest to the view that there is no African question that is not also a global question, and that the Africanization of the global question will be a decisive feature of the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo Write the Africa World\u003c\/i\u003e and its companion volume \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of Time\u003c\/i\u003e will be indispensable for anyone interested in Africa – its past, present, and future – and in the new forms of critical thought emerging from Africa and the Global South.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThinking for a New Century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Achille Mbembe and Felwine Sarr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (European?)
