Never having known Assia Djebar, i can only speak of the effect her writing has had on me, above all one of her first works, Les enfants du nouveau monde (Children of the New World), created as Algerian independence became a reality, inaugurating a postcolonial nation full of promise and contradiction. In this novel Djebar wrote of Algeria at a moment, 1961-62, when it was on the threshold of its becoming, the very moment of the invention of Algeria, when the coming laborious construction of Algeria, which continues today, was already visible. The moment when the unyielding violence of the struggle to invent this new country, nation, people, and culture might have ceased, in a site subject to a violence that had proceeded endlessly, terrifyingly, since 1954, since the massacre in Sétif in 1945, since the French invasion of 1830, since the fly-whisk incident and the blockade of Algiers in 1827. By 1961 Algeria had for centuries been defined and constructed by violence. In Les enfants du nouveau monde we encounter the trace of a moment when the participants in the Algerian revolution and war had been shaken to the core of their being by the terror of that struggle and risking of life, a moment when what Frantz Fanon called "le problème de l'homme" (374), the invention of a human being beyond the consuming circles of Eurocentric hegemony, was of the utmost urgency. A moment when Algerians were about to give form and reality to Algeria. Here Djebar wrote of this Algeria in a future perfect and perfect future of that moment, an Algeria that would no sooner be born than vanish, an Algeria that still, today, will have been.
4 - Afterword: Vastey and the System of Colonial Violence
from Supplementary Essays
By Nick Nesbitt
Baron de Vastey
Edited and translated by Chris Bongie
Book: The Colonial System Unveiled
Published by: Liverpool University Press
Print publication: 17 April 2014, pp 285-300
The essays collected in this volume, along with Chris Bongie's introductory materials, notes, and translation, radically extend our understanding of Vastey's Le système colonial dévoilé. Taken together, these texts imply a series of further questions, a number of which I would like to address in what follows. If Colonial System, as Bongie writes in his Introduction, can 'be considered the first systemic critique of colonialism ever written' (p. 7), how, in the absence of their explicit exposition, are we to understand Vastey's use of such concepts as colonialism, system, and critique? How might we extend the related affirmation, made repeatedly throughout this collection, that Vastey's Colonial System anticipates the insights of anticolonial thinkers like Aimé Césaire, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Frantz Fanon? How does Vastey structure his critique of the principal phenomenon at issue in Colonial System: namely, violence (both in its colonial and revolutionary variants)? Here, in the wake of the preceding essays, I wish briefly to suggest some further elements for reflection on Vastey's intervention and invention of a postcolonial, emancipationist critique, in which I will focus on: I. his critique of the colonial system; 2. his further articulation of this critique as a critique of violence; 3. his original contribution to the genre of what I have elsewhere called 'Caribbean critique'; and 4. some elements of comparison between Vastey and other key figures in this critical tradition, including Césaire, Sartre, and Fanon.
Colonialism is a System…
While Vastey's Colonial System clearly constitutes 'the first systemic critique of colonialism ever written', just what Vastey means by 'colonial system' is never clearly stated in his text. As Bongie makes clear, Colonial System is emphatically written as a counter-discourse to the ex-colonist Malouet's proslavery defence of what the latter called 'the colonial system ' (pp. 46–51). The guiding 'principle' of this system, Malouet explicitly tells his readers, is the negation and quarantine of 'the doctrine and principle of liberty and equality' in 'a society composed of masters and slaves' (qtd. p. 47): in other words, the principled and violent defence of the order of racial hierarchy in a society of masters and slaves, against the political, existential threat of a society structured upon the countervailing principle of equality. The nature of this hierarchical colonial system, as Vastey's text strives to demonstrate, is violence of the most horrifying kind and degree.
Book: Caribbean Critique
7 - The Baron de Vastey and the Contradictions of Scribal Critique
from II - Critique of Caribbean Violence
As scholars, including Laurent Dubois and myself, have argued, it was revolutionary Saint-Domingue that remained faithful to the Jacobin ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity in the wake of Thermidor and the rise of Napoleon and his administration's ever-increasing determination to reimpose slavery upon the peripheral French colony. The events of the Haitian Revolution, Dubois writes, were 'the most concrete expression of the idea that the rights proclaimed in France's 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen were indeed universal' (Dubois 2004: 3). Following the defeat of the French and the declaration of Haitian independence on January 1, 1804, however, this revolutionary project of universal emancipation and transnational abolitionism was immediately placed in a paradoxical double-bind.
Sibylle Fischer has described in vivid terms the 'extraordinary challenges the new state was facing in a world where slave-holding was the rule' (Fischer 2004: 227). Indeed, across the Atlantic zone of economies still fundamentally dependent upon slave-based plantation labor for the extraction of surplus profit, Haiti's mere existence as a slavery-free state was immensely threatening, and neither France nor the United States would extend diplomatic recognition to it for decades to come. As Deborah Jenson has shown in great detail (Jenson 2011: 81–224), France actively plotted to reinvade Haiti from the moment of its shocking defeat in 1804 through its eventual extortion of diplomatic recognition in 1825. Following the Bourbon restoration in April 1814, France made ever-increasing threats to reconquer Haiti with a new military invasion in order to reaffirm its hegemony over the territory and to reconstitute plantation slavery, as it had in Guadeloupe and Martinique in 1802 In this context, the fragile and isolated young Haitian state was forced to retract any and all claims to export antislavery beyond its borders. It did so in order merely to consolidate and preserve the limited, if world historical, accomplishments of the revolution itself, in order, that is to say, to dissuade the Atlantic powers from re-invading in the aim of reimposing plantation slavery.
In Modernity Disavowed, Fischer brilliantly decodes the working through of this paradox of Haitian independence in the dialectic between the explicit anti-intervention clauses in the young state's various constitutions and their more or less implicit, subversive offers of a post-racial citizenship to the Atlantic African diaspora.

2 - Victor Schoelcher, Tocqueville, and the Abolition of Slavery
from I - Tropical Equality: The Politics of Principle
Print publication: 31 December 2013, pp 66-85
Au principe commercial qu'il n'y a de prospérité coloniale que grâce à l'esclavage, Schoelcher sut opposer le principe révolutionnaire du droit de l'homme à disposer de lui-même.
Throughout the nineteenth century, the complexities surrounding the abolition of slavery were enormous. The events of Toussaint Louverture's capture and sacrifice, the defeat of Louis Delgrès's and Ignace's 1802 rebellion in Guadeloupe, and the subsequent defeat of Napoleon's troops in Haiti meant that slavery would be reimposed in the French Caribbean colonies of Martinique and Guadeloupe at the same time that it was destroyed in the new state of Haiti. From 1802 to the 1848 abolition, this strange situation meant that slavery had been both abolished and reinstated in the remaining French colonies, while France's only former colony became an international pariah. Slave labor persisted throughout the Atlantic world during the first part of the nineteenth century, even as the slave trade and eventually slavery itself were gradually abolished by Britain (1834), France (1848), and, eventually, the United States (1865) and Brazil (1888).
One of the key figures of Caribbean Critique emerged at the moment of the 1848 French abolition of slavery. Victor Schoelcher's writing during the few months of the short-lived Second Republic focalize the struggle around abolition with uncompromising clarity and unyielding fidelity to the imperative of universal, absolute abolition. Schoelcher's was emphatically and self-consciously a politics of principle in the mode of Robespierre and Louverture, and it was particularly notable for its success in seizing the strategic opportunity available in the spring of 1848.
The problem of slavery and its abolition was enormously important for thinkers across the spectrum of what we might now call 'leftist' thought in nineteenth-century France. In the period of the July Monarchy of Louis-Philippe (1830–1848), two public intellectuals, in particular, forcefully and repeatedly placed the problem of slavery in France's American colonies before the French public and paved the way for its eventual abolition on April 27, 1848: Alexis de Tocqueville and Victor Schoelcher. Each traveled extensively throughout the Americas, and each brought the experience of their New World encounters to bear upon his attempts to eradicate French participation in the brutally inhuman crime of slavery.
4 - 'Stepping Outside the Magic Circle': The Critical Thought of Maryse Condé
The writings of Maryse Condé are critical to their core. Her novels dismantle the pieties of everyday life to expose what lies beneath: the fragile narcissism of subjects who erect facades of ideology and self-importance around the naked core of their being to ward off ever-impinging social violence. This pervasive social violence takes a number of forms in Condé's critical and creative vision – from the most intimate tribulations between mother and daughter to the anonymous violence of systemic dependency in a neo-colonial society that insistently reminds every individual – in employment, in consumption, in leisure and travel, in education, in language – that a distant metropolis determines the parameters of their existence. Condé is concerned with the survival of human beings in this undermining context; her writing constructs individuals as more than simply human animals, as subjects with a right to more than the minimal social benefits (health care, unemployment insurance, aid for single mothers, and other benefits that Guadeloupians enjoy in contrast to those living in many other Caribbean nations). The contemporary subjects of French neo-colonialism produce constantly, like the slaves who were their ancestors who refused to be reduced to animalistic quotas of production by their masters and produced a new culture from the shattered remains they found at hand – Wolof, Norman and Breton, Bantu, East Indian, Native American, Chinese, and many others. In a situation of structuralized dependency on the metropolis, however, certain paths of production remain blocked. Where would one find the capital to start a hotel when one must compete with Meridian, Sofitel, and Acor? How can one place locally produced goods in competition with mass-produced European items, particularly when a local preference for all that is European negates any value-added benefit from the marker 'Made in Guadeloupe'?
The colonial progression of modernity into every dimension of Guadeloupian life has captured colonized subjects in a net of systematic dependency, from consumerist consumption to political irrelevancy as subjects of Matignon and the European Union. Everything that human beings in this circumstance use to build a fortress of subjectivity – biological destiny, language, food, and belief-systems – comes from beyond the individual, from the pre-formed material of the given.
8 - Revolutionary Inhumanism: Fanon's On Violence
To read Fanon's masterpiece, Les Damnés de la terre, today, a half-century after African decolonization and the triumph of the Algerian Revolution to which Fanon dedicated his life and thought, requires above all working through, critically and intensively, the complex and original critique of colonial, and defense of anticolonial violence that it contains. To do so requires above all rejecting all facile, unthinking dismissals of Fanon as an alleged 'apostle of violence' and to reject categorically the ridiculous, often-repeated claim of Hannah Arendt that Fanon celebrates 'violence for its own sake'. Fanon was not writing in Les Damnés de la terre about violence in general, nor was he writing about urban riots, skinheads, the Shoah, or any of the other manifold forms of social violence characteristic of global modernity. He was rather writing about a specific situation and its particular forms of violence, that of French colonialism, and, even more specifically, as a leading member and intellectual voice of the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN), of French colonial violence in Algeria since the Sétif massacre in 1945 and in the Algerian War of 1954–1962.
Fanon's anticolonial humanism takes the form in Peau noire, masques blancs of a Sartrean assertion of human freedom, the refusal of any fixed, a priori human essence in the face of the potential to 'invent [my] existence' and the absolute character of human 'freedom' (Fanon 1952: 187–188). The project of such a post-racial, militant humanism would consequently be to transcend the systematic 'dehumanization' of racism and colonialism and to 'create the ideal conditions of existence in a humane [humain] world' (ibid.: 188). Les Damnés de la terre concludes in similar terms, famously 'taking up again the question of man' in order to 'recommence a history of man' that would leave behind all Western European hypocritical invocations of the human that are no more than the imposition of the provincial formation of European racial and ethnocentrism, to engage instead the 'invention' and 'discovery' of 'a new man' (Fanon 1961: 375, 376).
Caribbean Critique
Antillean Critical Theory from Toussaint to Glissant
Print publication: 31 December 2013
Caribbean Critique seeks to define and analyze the distinctive contribution of francophone Caribbean thinkers to perimetric Critical Theory. The book argues that their singular project has been to forge a brand of critique that, while borrowing from North Atlantic predecessors such as Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, and Sartre, was from the start indelibly marked by the Middle Passage, slavery, and colonialism. Chapters and sections address figures such as Toussaint Louverture, Baron de Vastey, Victor Schoelcher, Aimé Césaire, René Ménil, Frantz Fanon, Maryse Condé, and Edouard Glissant, while an extensive theoretical introduction defines the essential parameters of 'Caribbean Critique.'
5 - Édouard Glissant: From the Destitution of the Political to Antillean Ultra-leftism
Like Aimé Césaire and Frantz Fanon, Édouard Glissant combined a passionate engagement in the politics of decolonization with analysis of the modes and structures of French colonialism, from its origins to its singular perpetuation in the form it has taken since 1946 as the so-called 'departmentalisation' of the former 'colony' of Martinique (as well as Guadeloupe and French Guiana). In this chapter, I wish to focus on a number of Glissant's most overtly 'political' texts, including his 1958 first novel La Lézarde, which tells the story of a group of young Martinican anticolonial militants circa 1946; the little-known 1961 Les Antilles et la Guyane à l'heure de la décolonisation, by some stretch Glissant's most radically anticolonial and Fanonian text; and his masterpiece of Caribbean critical theory, the 1981 Discours antillais.
La Lézarde, Glissant's first novel, established the young author as a prominent voice in Antillean letters when it won the French Prix Renaudot in 1958. Though frequently read as a militantly anticolonial text, the novel does not narrate the awakening of a Martinican national consciousness that would lead teleologically from alienation and exploitation to the birth of a decolonized nation. Rather, it advances an aporetic critique of such political triumphalism in the face of the eternal, inevitable resurgence of the mythic violence of the colonial order and plantation slavery. La Lézarde describes the decision of a group of young Martinican militants in the fictional city of Lambrianne to assassinate a political operative of the colonialist opposition. A sort of Antillean version of Sartre's Les mains sales, the novel is set in the time of the momentous 1945 elections that brought Aimé Césaire to power as the communist mayor of Fort-de-France and deputy to the French Assembly. The novel turns around the debates over the demands and ethics of left-wing political militancy in the post-war period. The young peasant Thaël, engaged in this assassination plot, ultimately 'succeeds', but the novel stages this political violence not as the triumph of Martinican national consciousness but rather as the resurgence of the atavistic, mythic violence of colonialism and plantation slavery itself.

1 - Foundations of Caribbean Critique: From Jacobinism to Black Jacobinism
Je ne connais qu'une France. Celle de la Révolution. Celle de Toussaint Louverture.
Why should a study of Caribbean Critique begin by examining French Jacobinism and its defense in the political writings of Kant? My motive in this chapter is not simply to pursue the lead C. L. R. James famously proposed when he entitled his classic study of the Haitian Revolution The Black Jacobins. Determining the precise relation between these two political sequences is certainly important, but I argue that 1789, Jacobinism, and Robespierre stand as the decisive refutation of Michel-Rolph Trouillot's famous assertion that the events of the Haitian Revolution from 1791–1804 were 'unthinkable' (see Trouillot 1995: 82). Trouillot's claim is not simply that the Haitian political sequence remained misunderstood, if not actively stigmatized and debased, as it unfolded and in the two centuries since. To a certain extent, this empirical claim is true – but nearly two decades of intensive historiographic investigation of the Haitian Revolution since Trouillot made this assertion has begun to address this problem.
Trouillot's claim of unthinkability is a much stronger one, namely, 'that the events that shook up Saint Domingue from 1791 to 1804 […] were "unthinkable" facts'. The unthinkable, Trouillot tells us, refers specifically to 'that for which one has no adequate instruments to conceptualize. […] The unthinkable is that which one cannot conceive within the range of possible alternatives, that which perverts all answers because it defies the terms under which the questions were phrased' (Trouillot 1995: 82). But, as I will argue, those 'adequate instruments' of thought were readily available, circulating throughout the Atlantic world and Saint-Domingue in particular in both printed matter (in colonial papers such as the Jacobin Créole Patriote) and oral debate, in the abstract, universalist, race-free axioms of the Declarations of the Rights of Man and Citizen of 1789 and 1793, as well as the debates and proceedings of the French Revolution as reported in both French and colonial journalism and through oral communication by subaltern sailors and other travellers from Europe.
The Haitian Revolution was in no sense unthinkable as its events unfolded; I would revise Trouillot's claim to insist that there occurred a general failure to think through the simplest and most obvious implications of the universal truth that Tous les hommes naissent et demeurent libres et égaux en droits.
Introduction: The Caribbean Critical Imperative
Print publication: 31 December 2013, pp 1-26
Travailler un concept, c'est en faire varier l'extension et la compréhension, le généraliser par l'incorporation des traits d'exception, l'exporter hors de sa région d'origine, le prendre pour un modèle, bref, lui conférer progressivement par des transformations réglées, la fonction d'une forme.
Georges Canguilhem
The generic prescription of universal justice as equality, premised upon the destruction of slavery, appeared fully formed as immanent critique from the first moments of the Haitian Revolution. In an extraordinary letter of June 1792, mere months after the initial uprising that had liberated the slaves of northern Saint-Domingue, three leaders of that movement (Jean François, Biassou, and Toussaint Louverture, signing as his fourteen-year-old nephew Belair) wrote to the colonial assembly. The three co-authors of this letter cast their demands to the assembly not in sectarian terms, nor on their own behalves, nor even on behalf of slaves or blacks in general, but rather as predicates of the universal class of human beings. From its very first iteration, Caribbean Critique appears concerned not with individuals or with classes but with a series of abstract, universal concepts of relevance to all human beings and not to any specifically regional, racial, or gendered experiences. Yet these universal concepts – right, freedom, equality, justice – are formulated by enslaved, Caribbean subjects in ways that would have been unavailable or unimaginable for the white French subjects of 1789: 'These are men […] whom you call your slaves, and who claim the rights to which all men may aspire' (Nesbitt 2008a: 5–6).
The logic expressed by the signatories of the June 1792 letter is inclusive, not divisive: by their words, the human race is one, and all who are its subjects are to be counted as one human being, equal to another. If this has not been the case for blacks and slaves heretofore, it is because the colonial world of total violence rendered blacks and slaves invisible, uncounted, and unthinkable as subjects of right. Instead, as the writers of this letter point out, they were counted only as living machines for the production of profit: 'Under the blows of your barbarous whip, we have accumulated for you the treasures you enjoy in this colony.'

Nous sommes …
Pour les grands temps nouveaux où l'on voudra savoir,
– Ce qu'on ne sait pas, c'est peut-être terrible:
Nous saurons! – Nos marteaux en main, passons au crible
Tout ce que nous savons: puis, Frères, en avant!
Caribbean writing in French is commonly conceptualized in a number of now-familiar modes: as a poetics, from, say, Oswald Durand and Saint-John Perse to the incendiary surrealism of Césaire's Cahier d'un retour au pays natal and Édouard Glissant's Poétique de la relation; as a literature, from Frédéric Mercelin or Jacques Roumain to Maryse Condé or Gisèle Pineau; as a history, from Columbus's journals and plantation ledgers to the letters of Toussaint Louverture and the annals of departmentalization and decolonization. This book proposes instead that Caribbean writing in French is grasped in its most essential characteristics when conceptualized as a practice of critique. This is to argue that while the various genres of Antillean writing are manifold, encompassing letters and novels, histories and polemical tracts, poems and theoretical works, the unifying characteristic of the outstanding texts from this tradition is their status as works of critique – as writings, that is, that cry out in insubordination and aversion to the state of their world (above all, that of plantation slavery and colonialism), and that seek to articulate the promise that another world is possible.
From a philosophical perspective, Caribbean Critique seeks to define and analyze the distinctive contribution of francophone Caribbean thinkers to post-Kantian critical theory, the latter understood not as an academic field, but as a project of practical reason called, as Marx famously argued, not merely to describing the world, but to changing it. The book argues that the singular endeavor of these thinkers has been to forge a brand of critique that, while borrowing tools from North Atlantic predecessors such as Rousseau, Diderot, Robespierre, Hegel, Marx, and Sartre, was from the start marked indelibly by the experiential imperatives of the Middle Passage, slavery, and imperialism, as well as the contestatory resources of Vodun and African theoretical traditions such as the Mande human rights Charter of 1222.
11 - Césaire and Sartre: Totalization, Relation, Responsibility
from III - The Critique of Relation
Césaire's initial critique of alienated colonial relationality received decisive theoretical formulation in Sartre's phenomenology of political and ethical responsibility, developed during the years of the Algerian war in dialogue with Frantz Fanon. Although Sartre's explosive preface to Les Damnés de la terre and his articles condemning the Algerian war and the torture done there in the name of all French citizens are well-known, the theoretical logic that lead Sartre famously to conclude that 'We are All Murderers' is less clear. I believe this is because that theorization lies buried, disbursed here and there through the many hundreds of pages of his Critique de la raison dialectique, in particular in the manuscript of the second volume of that work, which would not be published until 1985, long after Sartre's star had waned on the French (and American) philosophical scene.
In fact, Sartre's theorization of what he calls the process of 'totalization' in those two volumes forms the basis of an ethico-political philosophy of relation and intersubjectivity, one that goes beyond the earlier and more famous, largely depoliticized model of intersubjectivity elaborated in L'Etre et le néant and plays such as Huis clos. I have argued above that that theory was the single most important model for Fanon's critique of colonial violence in Les Damnés de la terre.
Sartre's articles condemning the Algerian war and the use of torture by the French military include the 1956 speech 'Colonialism is a System', his 1957 piece 'You are Wonderful' and 'We are All Murderers' and 'A Victory' from the following year, each quite brief speeches or journalistic pieces, each searing indictments of French imperial brutality, hypocrisy, and guilt in the unfolding Algerian war. In the face of what Sartre unhesitatingly calls the 'war crimes' revealed in publications such as Des Rappelés Témoignent and Henri Alleg's La Question, the pieces condemn the 'gangrene […] of the cynical and systematic use of absolute violence' (Sartre 2006: 63). The crucial aspect of Sartre's argument in these texts (as in his description of colonialism as a 'system' and his call for its violent overthrow in the Fanon Preface) is not simply to denounce the use of torture or colonial exploitation.
3 - Aimé Césaire and the Logic of Decolonization
Print publication: 31 December 2013, pp 86-117
To prevent the development of all national consciousness in the colonized, the colonizer pushes the colonized to desire an abstract equality. But equality refuses to remain abstract. And what an affair it is when the colonized takes back the word on his own account to demand that it not remain a mere word!
Aimé Césaire, 'Décolonisation pour les Antilles'
Aimé Césaire's struggle to define a politics of principle in the tradition this book is calling Caribbean Critique took shape with explicit reference to the legacy of Jacobinism, the Black Jacobinism of Toussaint Louverture, and the radical abolitionism of Victor Schoelcher. Both Jacobinism and Black Jacobinism became crucial to Césaire's brand of critical thought and politics in the period of decolonization, but when Césaire made his first and perhaps most consequential political intervention, he was a young, inexperienced Martinican deputy to the French Assembly in the then-dominant French Communist Party. At that point, Victor Schoelcher was the abiding reference of Césaire's politics of principle.
Césaire recognized that Schoelcher had been the first to call for the juridical integration of France's overseas colonies as 'French Overseas Departments' whose citizens would bear the full and undivided rights of the Republic. In the Jacobin and Black Jacobin traditions, one might argue, decolonization has always meant universal equality under not just any republican law, but specifically a constitution such as that of l'An II whose fundamental aim was the promotion of popular sovereignty. On June 30, 1945, Césaire wrote in Justice, the newspaper of the Martinique section of the Parti communiste français (PCF), that: 'l'ordre que je vous demande de respecter et de faire respecter c'est cet ordre révolutionnaire qui substituer le règne de la loi au règne du favoritisme, mettra à la raison l'insolence jusqu'ici munie des ennemis du Peuple' [the order that I ask you to respect and make respected is that revolutionary order that substitutes the rule of law for the rule of favoritism, which will subordinate to the order of reason the insolence that has thus far armed the enemies of the People] (cited at Hale 1978: 254).
III - The Critique of Relation
Print publication: 31 December 2013, pp ix-x
Conclusion: The Incandescent I, Destroyer of Worlds
The love of truth is the love of this weakness whose veil we have raised; it is the love of what the truth hides.
Nous sommes des forces de vérité
If Toussaint Louverture is the founding figure of Caribbean Critique, Aimé Césaire is surely its greatest and most steadfast practitioner. Césaire's legacy is to have remained faithful to a single axiom in the face of unmitigated and intolerable injustice: fidelity to the revolutionary imperatives of freedom, equality, and fraternity, the unknown implications of which must be at every moment interrogated and experimentally confirmed in the pursuit of the universal, undivided equality of all. While he rightly celebrated the legacy and accomplishments of afro-Atlantic cultures, these specificities never served to ground the ethical and political claims he made against global imperialism. Following his initial invocation of Négritude, Césaire's every intervention brought the claims of universal equality to bear on diverse planes of being, from the poetic to the political. Slavery, racism, colonialism, imperialism: the inaugural master of Francophone writing wielded these words with political mastery to shatter the inertial resistance of an intolerable situation.
The lived experience of racism, exclusion, and the systematic impoverishment and dependency of colonized Martinique and Guadeloupe defined Césaire's commitment to overcome the divisive and pernicious effects of colonial subalternity, racial classification, and stigmatization. Following his encounter with Senghor in the 1930s, Césaire sought to affirm the universal legacy of black culture in the face of its systematic debasement, but – as I have argued throughout this book – Césaire largely shunned what we now call 'identity politics'. Rather, he sustained and renewed the dedication to universal rights he discovered in the struggles of Toussaint Louverture, Grégoire, and Victor Schoelcher. In this struggle, Césaire's unparalleled mastery of an incendiary poetic language was, in a dazzling multiplicity of forums, genres, and modalities, the unerring arme miraculeuse of a singularly Caribbean modality of bloodless, divine violence.
The initial period of political insurgency in the francophone world, in which culture and politics were fundamentally linked under the general name of decolonization, stretched from the 1930s to the 1960s. During this phase, culture and politics, while remaining separate spheres of creativity, they yet informed and responded to one another.

We are now United Way of North Central new Mexico
United Way of Central New Mexico is now United Way of North Central New Mexico (UWNCNM). The new name was announced at our January 2023 community event in Santa Fe. The new name reflects UWNCNM's responsiveness to the community of Santa Fe County, which became part of the organization's service area in 2021.
UWNCNM serves people in five counties (the four counties in addition to Santa Fe are Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance and Valencia) to create educational opportunities and help families build resiliency. A committee comprised of representatives of Santa Fe and United Way devoted a year to conversations to help identify gaps in services, build connections and collaborate with the nonprofit community, and to strengthen relationships with the business and philanthropic community in the county.
"Our new name demonstrates our commitment to the region and all the people we serve," says Rodney Prunty, President and CEO of UWNCNM. "Our presence and ability to serve our communities means that more of our neighbors will have a chance to build a life that supports their aspirations."
In July 2022, $400,000 was awarded to 20 nonprofit organizations in Santa Fe County. The grants were made possible by a gift to UWCNM by philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. The unrestricted funding to nonprofits will further their ability to address community needs and to help them build their capacity to strengthen their programs and services. The grant applications were reviewed by a panel of volunteers from Santa Fe.
In addition to grants, UWNCNM operates, in partnership with the City and County of Santa Fe, 211 + CONNECT, an information and referral helpline that provides referrals for navigation services. 211 served 424 callers; 414 were referred to services or Santa Fe CONNECT. The top requests for help were for rent assistance, utility assistance and homeless shelters.
There were two Tax Help New Mexico sites in Santa Fe that offered free tax preparation to eligible people in Santa Fe in 2022. Tax Help volunteers prepared 451 returns and $413,948 was returned to Santa Fe County. The average return amount was $1,156.
Ride United is a new service in Santa Fe County that provides free transportation for those who need to get to a doctor's appointment, a job interview, a child's school function, and more. Ride United will launch in early 2023 and will provide 1,000 rides (partially funded by Molina Healthcare) that are arranged through Lyft. Rides can be requested by calling 211; no documentation is required.
During the 2021 annual campaign, UWNCNM raised $15,161,750 and, in July 2022, awarded $2,044,633.33 in grants to 57 health and human service agencies in four counties as a result of its annual Community Investment process to foster stronger communities. In addition to grants, UWNCNM distributed donations in the amount of $8,575,538 to more than 11,315 nonprofits and their programs per donor-designated requests.
UWNCNM has also invested $1,465,827 in its impact initiatives and services: Rising Together, 211 information and referral service, Family Advocacy Center, and Tax Help New Mexico.

In an interesting order, a full bench of the Bombay High Court comprising of three judges -Chief Justice Mohit Shah, Justices P.V.Hardas and V.K.Tahilramani JJ on friday recalled an earlier order dated 28th January in which a Division Bench headed by Justice S.C.Dharmadhikari had ordered disciplinary action against the court's registry staff.
The division bench had directed that disciplinary action should be initiated against the court's registry staff for failing to place an affidavit before the court when the matter came up for hearing. It was directed that there be a warning, and noting in confidential reports of the registry staff, saying, "We have noticed that the registry has not placed the affidavit, which is stated to have been filed on January 20, 2015, in the original files. This is happening in most of the matters. The paper books circulated at our residence and in court are without the said affidavits. This has inconvenienced us and the litigants as well."
While recalling the order, the full bench observed: "As per settled legal position and constitutional scheme, learned judge in division bench could not have issued warning to the concerned staff, including noting in confidential report." The administrative powers of such nature vest only with the Chief Justice of a High Court and other judges have to write to the CJ to orchestrate disciplinary action of such nature, else it is ultra vires their powers.
The full bench further said that this was not to suggest that there was no lapse on the part the staff. "This is not to say that absence of diligence or lapse on part of the staff is not to be regularized, the question is about competence of any other judge/court to initiate disciplinary action," observed the full bench, adding that, "The learned judge who passed the order (of disciplinary action) did not have such powers."
While recalling the concerned paragraphs of the January 28 order, the full bench has now asked the prothonotary and senior master of High Court to place the matter before the chief justice for appropriate orders.


Aynor (3-2) used a bevy of backs to roll up 352 yards on the ground, led by Devonte Kinlaw, who had 141 yards on 16 carries and returned a kickoff 90 yards for a score. Kinlaw and Blair Fleming, who had 10 carries for 44 yards, sat out the first half of the game for missing a team function earlier in the week.
The Blue Jackets also controlled the ball for most of the game, with a 34:30-13:30 edge in time of possession.
The Dolphins took an early 12-0 lead when Matt Layman threw a 20-yard scoring pass to Alex Orford, then scored himself from the 16. Aynor cut into the lead on a 1-yard Layton Nobles score in the second quarter, but Layman connected with Orford again, this time for a 50-yard score and a 55-yard TD from Scott D'Amico to put the Dolphins up 25-7 before the Blue Jackets made a spirited fourth-quarter comeback.
Touchdown runs from Fleming and Tony Green cut the gap to 25-22 before Hilton Head Prep's Teron Daley scored on a 52-yard run. But Green brought the ensuing kickoff back 90 yards for a touchdown, and a touchdown run from Carroll put Aynor ahead 35-32 with 3:21 left in the game.
But a 7-yard Dimitri Lowry scoring run capped a go-ahead drive that included a 20-yard completion from Lyman to Danny Maggard and a defensive holding call against Aynor to keep the drive going for the Dolphins, and the fumble on the Hilton Head Prep 35 on the Blue Jackets' next possession was recovered by the Dolphins' Dylan Powell to end Aynor's chances at the comeback.
Jenerette said the rare afternoon game and a four-hour bus trip were not excuses for the game's outcome. It was the turnovers and letting Hilton Head Prep capitalize on them that was the key.
"We had 540 yards of offense," Jenerette said. "We need to learn to play a little better on defense."
The loss gave the Blue Jackets a two-game skid after starting the season at 3-0, while the win stopped a two-game slide for the Dolphins in which they gave up fourth-quarter leads both times.
"This time it was just grind time, win in the fourth quarter and see who wanted it more," said Lowry. "We wanted it more."

We got sound, but this game ran better in version 2.8. All my games ran better. Even with original resolution and etc, all games lag.

Like Fighters Megamix, the game is very playable but the sound doesn't work. There is a few low volume sounds with cracling but nothing else.
Very playable, but has some minor sprites problems. Like lightning transparencies or HUD sprites may glitch. But 3d graphics are excellent. No music and no sfx.

Tipitina's
501 Napoleon Ave New Orleans, LA 70115
Tipitina's Presents
History doesn't stand still. It impacts, influences, and inspires the ebb and flow of the future by informing the present. Galactic draw on 25 years together in order to progress with each performance and subsequent record. After 10 albums, over 2,000 gigs, and tens of millions of streams, the proud New Orleans, LA quintet—Ben Ellman [saxophone, harmonica], Robert Mercurio [bass], Stanton Moore [drums, percussion], Jeffrey Raines [guitar], and Richard Vogal [keyboards]—have kept the torch burning through five U.S. presidential regimes, the turn-of-the-century, Hurricane Katrina, a Global Pandemic, and a much-anticipated recovery. They're the rare collective who can support Juvenile on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, contribute music to a blockbuster soundtrack such as Now You See Me, and light up the stages of Coachella, Bonnaroo, and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (a staggering 22 times).
Joined by vocal powerhouse Anjelika "Jelly" Joseph, they continue to forge ahead with a 2021 headline tour and more new music.
"There is a history to the band, yet we continue to release and perform new material," says Stanton. "I'm truly excited for our fans and audience to hear this next record we've been working on. I think it's some of our best work yet."
They laid the groundwork for this future upon coming together in 1994. Two years later, the guys dropped their full-length debut, Coolin' Off, and hopped in a Ford Econoline van (with trailer in tow) for their very first official tour. Along the way, they released seminal albums such as 2007's From the Corner to the Block, boasting collabs with the likes of Chali 2na, Juvenile, Trombone Shorty, DJ Z-Trip, and Boots Riley. During 2015, Into The Deep marked their first debut in the Top 25 of the Billboard Top 200 and second straight #1 bow on the Billboard Top Contemporary Jazz Albums Chart. Not to mention, it boasted the title track "Into The Deep" [feat. Macy Gray], racking up nearly 20 million streams and counting. Along the way, they performed alongside the likes of Dave Matthews Band, The Roots, Jack Johnson, Talib Kweli, the Allman Brothers Band, Widespread Panic, B.B. King, Counting Crows, James Brown, and many more. They've also recorded and performed with the likes of Allen Toussaint ["Bacchus"] and Big Freedia "Double It"]. Most recently, 2019's Already Ready Already garnered acclaim from New York Times, NPR Weekend Edition, Exclaim!, and many more, while they've appeared on the covers of Downbeat and Relix Magazine.
Around the same time, they welcomed Jelly to the fold after joining forces on stage for a handful of unforgettable performances.
"I was super nervous at first, because I had some pretty big shoes to fill—but like those other singers I had to bring myself and I think I've fit in pretty well," Jelly smiles.
"Jelly came to Fuji Rock in Japan with us to sing background with Macy Gray," recalls Stanton. "We needed someone to sing one of our Galactic originals, and she stepped up. Since there was no time for rehearsal or soundcheck, she showed up prepared, knew the tune completely, and rocked it. When it came time to find someone new to sing with us, she was our first choice. She has such effortless stage presence and a very comfortable rapport with audiences. She also brings an element of unbridled fun!"
That fun came across loud and clear on the 2020 single "Float." Uplifted by Jelly's powerhouse pipes, it hinted at the potential of their collective chemistry.
"I love listening to Galactic's older records, because they were very funk driven," Jelly goes on. "Now, it seems like they're incorporating more pop, rock, and soul to create a newer sound."
As they continue writing, recording, and performing, Galactic always keep New Orleans close to their hearts at all times. In 2018, the band purchased and took over one of the city's most hallowed venues—Tipitina's Nightclub. Their history with the venue even predated the band as Ben's first job was as a cook in the old kitchen, while they've graced its stage more than 100 times over the years.
In the end, Galactic keep moving forward as they add more chapters to their incredible history.
"We've just achieved 25 years as a band of brothers, so we know how to work with each other and move ourselves through the next 25 years," Robert leaves off. "We're always trying to push ourselves with our songwriting and studio collaborations. I look forward to where the future will take us."
Anjelika "Jelly" Joseph

As i was getting ready for long-teaching-day Tuesday, I started thinking about the whole process of teaching which led me to think about the 2008 word of the year, which has to be change. Over the past many many months we have had the word "change" blasted at us every which way, and I wonder if the entire concept hasn't become a little, well...yesterday. If so, that would be too bad because if there is one thing change is NOT, it's blasé.
To teaching voice is to teach change. It's truer for this particular musical instrument moreso than any others because we sing as soon as we can babble. Nobody teaches us how. It's just one of many ways we express ourselves. The problem is, after years of singing with Elmo, giggling through all 99 bottles of beer on the wall and wailing with all due teenage angst with the tortured alternative grunge singer du jour, our instrument (to put it bluntly) has been through the ringer and then some. So, when the time comes to study voice, there is a lot of un-doing that has to be done. There needs to be a lot of change.
But here's the problem. There is one little detail that is easy to forget. Although there is a certain excitement and allure to making the decision to change, the actual process isn't all that exciting. In fact it's often boring. And time-consuming. And frustrating. Progress can be so incremental, it often seems as if nothing is changing at all. Once that happens, the self-doubts set in: to undo past habits we SWEAR always worked before (except, of course, when they really didn't, but who wants to admit THAT?) for an unsure result seems folly. Why spend all this time spinning our wheels going nowhere? Forget the work and turn up the radio. We'll sing what we can and fake the rest. It's so much easier that way.
The important thing to remember is, without training eventually the voice is going to fail. Without changing old habits, the same notes will always be problems. We'll never be able to sing as high as we want to, or as long as we want to, or as freely as we want to. Without change, we've chosen to limit ourselves to only that which we know, instead of that which we imagine we can become.
This semester I've been teaching a pedagogy course -- that is, a course in teaching students how to teach. After assigning a certain set of readings, they came back and said they understood now how I taught. Actually, they accused me of being overly encouraging, which, frankly, I found hysterical. Over the weeks, what these students came to learn was that although teachers teach, the good ones do more than instruct. Good teachers encourage and challenge students to change for the better. Good teachers remember what it was like to be a student and empathize when change seems to come too slowly. Good teachers recognize and celebrate improvements, and inspire students to listen, work and practice diligently on their own.
Teachers are changed with the task of seeing possibilities, hearing potential and inspiring change. Our reward is sharing in the student's realization of a free and relaxed vocal instrument. It doesn't happen with every student, but I never give up trying. Every singer represents another opportunity to embrace change for the better. And looking at all the thousands upon thousands of songs to sing in this world, I know for certain it's worth the work. It's worth the trouble. It's worth the change. Every single time.

Simon Pegg on His New Film 'Lost Transmissions' and Balancing Indies With Blockbusters [Interview]
Posted on Friday, January 3rd, 2020 by Jason Gorber
For more than two decades, Simon Pegg has firmly established himself as a performer of extraordinary range. Though known by many for his roles in blockbusters like Mission Impossible and Star Trek, as well as his beloved collaborations with Edgar Wright, he's appeared in a wide range of projects, from early roles in Band of Brothers, voice work on Ice Age: Collision Course and Boxtrolls, to indie films like Run Fatboy Run or Hector and the Search for Happiness.
His latest film, Lost Transmissions, premiered at Tribeca and received its Canadian debut at the Whistler International Film Festival. Written and directed by Katherine O'Brien, it's the story of Theo Ross (Pegg), a record producer who befriends Hannah (Juno Temple). Theo suffers from schizophrenia, and when he refuses to take his medication at the same time that Hannah removes herself from her own anti-depressant regimen things go majorly awry. The role requires a great deal of commitment from Pegg, riding the edge of a person out of control but still engendering sympathy. It's a fine, nuanced take, one that may well surprise and impress fans who know him more from his broader takes in the bigger hits.
/Film spoke with Pegg at length about him choosing such a role, and it's clear he feels a strong affinity for the project. We also spoke about the fan community that he's both a part of and serving them content, and of course delved into the controversy surrounding the divide between art, commerce, cinema and "theme park rides".
Noah Hawley's 'Star Trek' Movie May Not Be 'Star Trek 4,' Says Simon Pegg
Posted on Monday, December 30th, 2019 by Hoai-Tran Bui
The Star Trek feature films may be exploring strange new worlds, and abandoning old story plans — and possibly even its familiar cast.
The fate of Star Trek 4 has been in question since the departure of stars Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pine in 2018, followed soon by director S.J. Clarkson. Last month, it seemed like phasers were set to go again with the boarding of Lucy in the Sky director Noah Hawley. However, according to Star Trek Beyond star Simon Pegg, it's possible that Hawley's Star Trek project isn't actually Star Trek 4 at all.
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Series 'Truth Seekers' Picked Up By Amazon
Posted on Monday, August 5th, 2019 by Hoai-Tran Bui
After Edgar Wright wrapped up his Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy with 2013's The World's End, it seemed like the glory days of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's long and storied onscreen relationship was over. The pair had worked together since the days of the 1999 British sitcom Spaced and would appear together in films like Paul as well. But the duo went their separate ways following The World's End, until it was announced last year that Pegg and Frost would be reuniting for a new comedy-horror series, Truth Seekers. The series, which stars Frost as one of a three-person paranormal investigation team, has now landed at Amazon Prime Video.
'Love, Antosha' Clip: Simon Pegg Tells a Heartwarming Story About 'Star Trek' Co-Star Anton Yelchin
Posted on Friday, August 2nd, 2019 by Ethan Anderton
Anton Yelchin would have been 30 years old this year, but the star of Green Room, Charlie Bartlett, Terminator Salvation and the Star Trek reboot franchise died in a tragic accident in June of 2016. Three years later, a new documentary called Love, Antosha looks back at the unfortunately short life of the actor who touched a lot of people, both through his work and his life. Now a new clip from the documentary features Simon Pegg telling a story that illustrates just how wonderful of a person Anton Yelchin was. Read More »
'The Boys' Trailer: Superheroes Are the Enemy in Amazon's Bloody New Series
Posted on Tuesday, July 23rd, 2019 by Ethan Anderton
In a few days, Amazon will bring a new group of superheroes to streaming, except this crew of superpowered individuals don't seem anything like good guys. In fact, Amazon's The Boys may be bringing us the most morally questionable group of superheroes since the Watchmen. Irresponsible with their powers, driven by greed and fame, and generally too cocky for their own good, these superheroes need to be put in their place. That's exactly what Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and the titular group of vigilantes aim to do, and their endeavor gets rather bloody, as you can see in the final The Boys trailer before the show's premiere.

Kevin James Replacing Simon Pegg as Merciless Criminal in Action Thriller 'Becky'
Posted on Wednesday, July 10th, 2019 by Ethan Anderton
The upcoming action thriller Becky had our attention because Simon Pegg was cast to play the film's villain, a merciless escaped convict who invades a family's lake house while they're on a weekend getaway. Unfortunately, that movie has lost Simon Pegg, but they've replaced with another intriguingly unlikely actor in the role: the King of Queens himself, Kevin James. Read More »
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Are Working on a TV Series Adaptation of Fantasy Books 'Rivers of London'
Posted on Wednesday, May 1st, 2019 by Hoai-Tran Bui
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are reuniting, but not onscreen. The duo have eaten their last Cornetto ice cream (metaphorically, they probably enjoy them plenty in real life), and have moved on to developing projects behind the scenes. Their latest project is a TV adaptation of the epic fantasy novels Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch. Pegg and Frost will be developing a Rivers of London TV series through their new production company Stolen Picture.
Cool Stuff: Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy Gets Three Comic Book Style Prints by Johnny Dombrowski
Posted on Thursday, March 14th, 2019 by Ethan Anderton
When you think of the greatest film trilogies of all time, it's easy to remember Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars. But don't you dare leave out The Cornetto Trilogy. It might be a makeshift trilogy comprised of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End, linked only by the fact that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost star in all of the films directed by Edgar Wright, but thematically, they are an incredible trio of stories that are hilarious, bloody, twisted, and just plain great. Now you can honor The Cornetto Trilogy with a new trio of Mondo prints by artist Johnny Dombrowski. Read More »
Netflix's 'Dark Crystal' Prequel Series Reveals First Look Photos and Star-Studded Voice Cast
Posted on Monday, December 17th, 2018 by Ethan Anderton
Netflix is reviving a cult favorite for many children of the 1980s in the form of the prequel series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. The series serves as a follow-up to Jim Henson's dark fantasy adventure The Dark Crystal from 1982, which featured some extremely impressive and immersive puppet work and production design. But don't worry if you've never seen the original movie – this series is set long before the events of The Dark Crystal, telling a new epic story.
Netflix has revealed the first photos from the Dark Crystal series, which show a loyal recreation of the Gelfling characters from the first movie. Plus, the voice cast has also been announced, including Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Anya Taylor-Joy (Split) and Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones) in the lead roles, with voices like Mark Hamill, Mark Strong, Simon Pegg, Natalie Dormer, Gugu Mbatha-Raw filling out the cast.

'The Boys' Teaser Trailer Gives the Middle Finger to Superheroes
Posted on Saturday, October 6th, 2018 by Hoai-Tran Bui
Not everyone is a fan of superheroes. In fact, some people may be keen on taking superheroes down, especially when those supposed heroes are fame-hungry, corrupt authority figures under the sway of a sinister corporation. The Boys centers around a group of vigilantes who set out to do just that in the highly anticipated Amazon adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's anti-hero comic series.
Amazon has released the first The Boys teaser trailer, giving us a glimpse of the long-awaited TV series.
