About the Author Andrea J.
These historical and theoretical intersections provide a timely and innovative contribution to the existing scholarship on Bergson, and demonstrate the importance of his thought for contemporary social and political issues.
The volume pays particular attention to both theoretical and practical forms of critical resistance work, including historical analyses of anti-racist, anti-imperialist, and anti-capitalist movements that have engaged with Bergson\'s writings--for example, the N gritude movement, the Indigenismo movement, and the Peruvian Socialist Party.
Contributors place Bergson\'s work in conversation with theorists from Africa, the African Diaspora, and Latin America to examine Bergson\'s influence on literature, science studies, aesthetics, metaphysics, and social and political philosophy within these geopolitical contexts.
