Aimé Césaire, Discours sur la colonialisme, 1955

[Hanif Abdurraqib @NifMuhammad]

First book of poems in eight years, out in April. I’m very proud of this and I hope you’ll preorder it. Much gratitude.

To begin this new phase (OP), posting Césaire's incredible work, maybe not a poem at all, but having much to do with communist poetics. I sometimes think of "The Great Camouflage" as condensing Aimé's "Notebook" and "Discourse" into a single work—with her own political ecology.

DON'T: read another weepy conversation w/ Michael Walzer where he belatedly admits to being wrong while also doubling down on being wrong

DO: Read this piece by me & @shaabiranks from 2023 where we critique Walzer/Just War Theory & the law of war re: Gaza

Back when Tongo was in the Bay I saw him read many times. This was 1 I loved to hear. Many great lines & moments—"The cop in the picket line is a hard working rookie." "'I've ruined the soup again,' / thought the judge" On the page he uses layout to present these as many voices

I call on all elected officials who have professed to care about accountability for Hind Rajab's murder and for other crimes against the Palestinian people to support our filing, pressure the DOJ to initiate an investigation/prosecution, and to pass the Justice for Hind Rajab Act

I just signed this. It is not clear if the hotel workers' strike in Chicago will affect the American Studies conference or not, but there is nothing simpler than making a pledge ahead of time that we will not cross the picket line.

Faut voir Paris là. T’es dans une foule qui scande “on a guillotiné un roi, on peut recommencer”, tu tournes à gauche, y a des groupes en train de barricader une rue & de faire reculer la police, tu tournes à droite, y a un cortège avec 20 drapeaux 🇵🇸 qui arrive à toute vitesse.

As Jasper urged Heidi to run, she gasped “I can’t, let me die.” I may have, too, if I was injured like this at 63.

With Jasper’s help she got to Palestinian rescuers. One put this Jewish mother on his back & carried her. I never want to hear “try being Jewish in Ramallah” again.
