To renew acquaintance with one’s history, obscured and obliterated by others, is to relish fully the present, for the experience of the present, stripped of its roots in time, yields only hollow delights. This is a poetic endeavour...Struggling with, and in, history is our common lot."

Really enjoyed this piece.

Glad to hear! I would highly recommend Alia Al-Saji's writings which I cite in the article. Their work on Fanon and the politics of time is simply unmatched.

It's not a particularly pathbreaking contribution, but it does try to bring together some of the existing literature on Fanon and temporality to outline a distinctly Fanonian critique of colonial time, while tentatively considering embodied forms of resistance through the term "temporal defiance".

Amazing, looking forward to this one

Thank you! I will check it out.

Thanks Johan! I think I have the Thompson book but never opened it for some reason
