The Politics of Édouard Glissant’s Right to Opacity
CLR James Journal 25 (1):59-70 (2019)
Abstract
The central claim of this essay is that Édouard Glissant’s concept of “opacity” is most fruitfully understood not as a built-in protection of a population or as a summary term for cultural difference, but rather as a political accomplishment. That is, opacity is not a given but an achievement. Taken up in this way, opacity is relevant for ongoing decolonial work today.Author's Profile
