Verso una nuova politica creola della resistenza. Camminando con Armando Gnisci tra gli scaffali della sua Biblioteca Interculturale

Abstract

Armando Gnisci’s Biblioteca Interculturale [Intercultural Library] is a text that breaks the “classic” framework of scientific analysis on interculturality. Rather than analysing specific aspects of this postcolonial paradigm, Gnisci shows the reader a “road map” for the de-colonisation of his/her own mind, through the fruition of books, music and films which, taken as one, contribute to developing a “creole” aesthetics. An instrument of critical analysis that helps the reader to identify, deconstruct, and reject all the new forms of “cultural racism” hidden behind the seductive masks of multiculturalism, and develop a poetic of resistance against the hegemonic discourse that sustains today’s neo-colonialistic and neo-imperialistic West.
