The humanism of reconstruction: African intellectuals, decolonial critical theory and the opposition to the ‘posts’ (postmodernism, poststructuralism, postcolonialism)

This article follows the complex fate of 'post' (poststructuralism, postmodernism, post colonialism) which an intellectual like Paul Tiyambe Zeleza called in African studies. It recorded the historical process and intellectual development that began in the 1980s and laid the foundation for integrating constructivistic factors into African scholars. Scholars like Achille Mbembe are endorsed, but the "position" in non-technical research is very uncomfortable, if not completely hostile. Many theorists believe that dismantling departs dangerously from the urgent ethical and political concerns and humanitarian needs of the African intelligent agenda. In addition, Mewenbe 's concept of Africanism has also been criticized because it emphasizes some of the theoretical bias and weaknesses that have been criticized for "post" (especially colonial studies). At the end of the paper, in order to remove the rigid concept of cultural essentialism, while maintaining a sufficiently stable concept to mobilize political science and ideology, we introduced several theories proposed by African scholars Discuss the solution.

Post colonialism is often confused with post colonialism, colonization, postmodernism. However, colonial theorists clearly distinguish them. Post colonialism is often mainstreamed by "colored people", "intellectuals of the third world", or "ethnic groups" (Mignolo 2000: 87). Analysis and procedural non-colonialism is called "getting out of the colony" (Mignolo 2007: 452), because "post colonial criticism and theory is a scholarly innovative project within academia."
