African History
Why are We Blind to Africa? #23
Helen Pluckrose outlines some of the arguments later explored in depth in her bestselling 2020 book, Cynical Theories (co-authored with James Lindsay). The essay charts the pernicious influence of postmodernist thinking on two generations of academics and activists. If you want to understand how we got to a place where microaggressions are denounced as violence but the brutal terrorism of an intifada is considered righteous, this is an important primer.
Iona Italia reads Helen Pluckrose’s essay published in Quillette: https://quillette.com/2024/05/07/how-french-intellectuals-ruined-the-west-foucault-lyotard-derrida/

I was never ever taught in school that Africa was more than some huts and struggling people. I’m so disappointed in my country’s education system regarding that, because I’ve realized that I don’t really know much about Africa’s pros, only the cons. I want to learn more <3

It's not about some group of people who are rich and some areas that are thriving. It's about the general population that is thriving and developing. In that front, African countries have a long way to go. No use chest thumping and "proud" slogans. Get to work Africans….
