Nihilism and Negritude

There are two common ways of writing about Africa, says Célestin Monga. One way blames Africa’s ills on the continent’s history of exploitation and oppression. The other way blames Africans themselves for failing to rise above poisonous national prejudices and resentments. But patronizing caricatures that reduce Africans to either victims or slackers do not get us very far in understanding the complexities and paradoxes of Africa today. A searching, often searing, meditation on ways of living in modern Africa, Nihilism and Negritude dispels the stereotypes that cloud how outsiders view the continent—and how Africans sometimes view themselves. In the role of a traveler-philosopher, Monga seeks to register “the picturesque absurdity of daily life” in his native Cameroon and across the continent. Whether navigating the chaotic choreography of street traffic or discoursing on the philosophy of café menus, he illuminates the patterns of reasoning behind everyday behaviors and offers new interpretations of what some observers have misunderstood as Africans’ resigned acceptance of suffering and violence. Monga does not wish to revive Negritude, the once-influential movement that sought to identify and celebrate allegedly unique African values. Rather, he seeks to show how daily life and thought—witnessed in dance and music, sensual pleasure and bodily experience, faith and mourning—reflect a form of nihilism developed to cope with chaos, poverty, and oppression. This is not the nihilism of despair, Monga insists, but the determination to find meaning and even joy in a life that would otherwise seem absurd. Reviews: “[This book] is like a kaleidoscope, where the mobile fragments of colored glass are the many, often rare, pieces of African reality, sensibility, and imagination.” — Robert Maggiori, Libération “A wide-ranging, challenging reflection on contemporary Africa. [Monga’s] travels throughout that continent and his knowledge of global finance — he served 13 years with the World Bank, moved to the UN International Development Organization, and currently serves as vice president of the African Development Bank — add real-life dimensions to all eight chapters. Concepts such as nihilism or negritude affect how outsiders understand the continent, usually as caricatures of reality. To enlighten readers, Monga provides glimpses of daily life in practically all aspects… Each chapter is often brilliant; all are challenging to widely-accepted stereotypes… Nihilism and Negritude is well worth reading.” — C. E. Welch, Choice “A terrific meditation on contemporary African modernity, conceived through a series of essays that reflect on the practices of everyday life.” — Kwame Anthony Appiah, New York University
