African Meditations
«
"The following meditations are to be read so as to remind us that thought is not the product of some disincarnated spirit at rest but is rather a practice and activity of a body in movement."—Souleymane Bachir Diagne, from the Foreword
"African Meditations speaks of the earth: how we inhabit it and connect to its most elementary forces. It aphoristically reflects on happiness but ponders its fragmentary nature and precariousness. Felwine Sarr shows us the good life and suggests that, in Senegal and beyond, it often takes the path of ‘motionless pilgrimages.’ A wise and richly evocative book."—Pierre-Philippe Fraiture, University of Warwick
