Interdisciplinarity for social justice enterprise
The role of interdisciplinarity in achieving authentic and transformative learning outcomes is both contested and complex. At the same time, traditional disciplinary ways of being, doing and knowing have been further tested by the impact of COVID-19 on students, schools and communities. In Tasmania, already experiencing amongst the lowest levels of educational attainment in Australia, the educational implications of COVID-19 have been polarising.…
Sovereignty in Pre-colonial Mali and Northern Africa
This chapter investigates pre-colonial notions of black African political sovereignty in Northwest Africa that predate the long history of Arab and European imperial ventures in the region. What this chapter shows is not simply that Mali existed as a sovereign state in the years prior to its colonization, both Arab and European, but that Malians understood very well how sovereign states are politically instituted, and that they had developed thei…
Derrida, Africa, and the Middle East
The north African roots of Jacques Derrida - he was born in Algeria, and lived there until he was nearly twenty - have yet to receive due consideration. Derrida, Africa, and the Middle East investigat
Future spaces in contemporary Australian art
This paper addresses Paul Virilio's notions of the 'overexposed city' and 'the law of proximity' in relation to contemporary Australian art practice in order to investigate the current cultural imagining of the 'future spaces' of the city. In one sense updating the cliche that a painting offers a window on the world, this paper substitutes recent art works by contemporary Australian artists for Virilio's 'door without a city'. In attempting to di…

Marxism, Geo-Thematics and Orality-Literacy Studies in the Sahel
The Desert Shore
Saying ?Yes? to Africa
may be traced to Derrida's orientation to Marxism as a uniquely theorist of Sephardic, Maghrebian, and Judaic experience. Unless the reader of Specters of Marx is willing to entertain this possibility, especially by suspending the agendas of race politics as they are defined in the (but also Judeo-African) diaspora in the US, France, and elsewhere, the edge of Derrida's critique of the latent metaphysics operative within Marxist theory will be bl…
The Desert Shore
The Desert Shore
Though Sahelian culture likely dates back more than five thousand years—encompassing Africa's greatest empires—the Sahel remains little known in the English-speaking world. Redressing this situation, The Desert Shore offers a rich sampling of the contemporary literatures of the region, along with contextualizing chapters by critics from Africa, Europe, and North America. The authors not only demonstrate the resilience and cultural wealth of moder…
Yambo Ouologuem
From the appearance of Bound to Violence in the late 1960s, Yambo Ouologuem has been one of Africa's most controversial writers. This book gathers together essays on Ouologuem from critics on three continents. Also included are recent interviews with the reclusive author
A Conversation with Mary Brave Bird
Preface by C. W. I did not learn until two hours before her speech that Mary Brave Bird would not be coming to the Sisters of Color conference in Bellingham. We were told only that Mary could not get a ride from Rosebud to the airport in Rapid City, South Dakota. At the last minute, Kate Trueblood arranged to have the Micmac poet Gail Tremblay read from her work, as well as from a chapter of Lakota Woman. Tremblay performed superbly, which lessen…
Yambo Ouologuem
From the appearance of Bound to Violence in the late 1960s, Yambo Ouologuem has been one of Africa’s most controversial writers. For some critics, the young Malian signaled an entire new direction for African letters: a fiercely courageous postindependence literature. For others, his novel revealed too much, bringing to light horrors many preferred to ignore. Today Ouologuem is credited with delivering the final death-blow to Senghorian negritude…
