Description
This collage from the Afro-American Society publication Black Praxis depicts images of Black students at Dartmouth interspersed with words from a poem by Cameroonian poet Philombe. “Civilization,” originally published in the book The Militant Black Writer in Africa and the United States, critiques colonization in Africa by underscoring the irony of Europeans seeking to “civilize” African peoples through assimilation into cultures ripe with vice and evil.
