Valentin Y. Mudimbe turned 83 today. His philosophical masterpiece “The Invention of Africa,” which deconstructs the colonial library we all carry in our minds often unwittingly, is indispensable to our intellectual hygiene. Happy birthday to a giant!

“The big joke on democracy is that it gives its mortal enemies the tools to its own destruction.” Guess who said this? It was Joseph Goebbels - the lead spokesperson of the Nazis.... the rest is both history and, sadly, present-day reality. #USElections2024
