“Cognitive Decoloniality: Two Cultures and the Transcultural, Exploring the Mental Experiences of Transcultural Literature from the Caribbean to the Maghreb” will take place
Thursday, Feb. 18 via Zoom. The event examines texts from Francophone North Africa and the Caribbean with an eye toward decoloniality, literature and the mind. Decoloniality references the power created through the processes, experience and aftermath of colonialization and explores the connections and ways of living that were displaced by the impact of colonialism.
