BOOK LAUNCH - After the Decolonial. David Lehmann
Thursday 12 May, 5pm SG1 Ground Floor, Alison Richard Building, 7 West Road, CB3 9DT
After the Decolonial examines the sources of Latin American decolonial thought, its reading of precursors like Fanon and Levinas and its historical interpretations. In extended treatments of the anthropology of ethnicity, law and religion and of the region’s modern culture, Lehmann sets out the bases of a more grounded interpretation, drawing inspiration from Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia and Chile, and from a lifelong engagement with issues of development, religion and race.
