We, the DecolonizedAuthor(s): Hl Beji, Matthew B. Smith, Nouri Gana\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley and Sons Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Polity Press\nISBN-13: 9781509562657, 978-1509562657\nSynopsis\nWe, the Decolonizedis a passionate reflection on the pitfalls of the decolonial venture in postcolonial countries, with particular reference to North Africa. Hl Bji shows that in many formerly colonized countries, the reality of independence took the form of elusive freedom, widespread disillusionment and the insidious survival of forms of domination bequeathed by former colonial powers.\n\nBji delivers an trenchant critique of decolonization: the saddest of all liberties, because it has not kept its promises. Those who had vanquished colonialism, vindicated civilization and struggled free from the yoke of illegitimate government found themselves ensnared in a new trap, having achieved emancipation without liberation. They remained entangled in a compulsive recycling of colon.
