This was a lovely read. You offered some really helpful framing around places (and thus identities) not just being defined by their physical boundaries but also by relations to power, domination, and movement of capital. I think this is really helpful for helping us see that a decolonial turn upsets the very definition of what it means to be African and of African nationalities. I think this recognition helps us build pan-African solidarity, which is just the beginning of generating a collective decolonial shift.
That part about decolonisation upsetting the very definition of what it means to be African! What will African identities be without the bond of exploitation? It’s really something to imagine. Thank you so much for reading!
