Dana F. Miranda: Repossession — The Ambiguity of Decolonization Simone De Beauvoir: A Toolkit for the 21st Century

In decolonial struggles for independence, there is a constant effort to combat unfreedom at multiple levels, including the internal transformations that deal with alienation. In this episode, Dana F. Miranda crossreads Fanon, Cabral and Beauvoir to show how Beauvoir's notion of ambiguity enriches the possession and repossession of freedom. 



The Q&A is moderated by Tivadar Vervoort.
