Valentin-Yves Mudimbe, 83, Stirbt; Afrikanischer Gelehrter Herausforderung des Westens – El Aviso

#RIP - Valentin-Yves #Mudimbe, 83, Stirbt; Afrikanischer Gelehrter Herausforderung des Westens www.el-aviso.es/weltnachrich...

This great man, V.Y. Mudimbe has gone, but not without having paved the way for the reinvention of Africa. He's constantly been a source of inspiration to me, as a poet and academic. Reste in power, Master!
