With a passion for languages and music, Edner Xavier looks into archeology, anthropology, science, and philosophy for the origins of sound, its influence on our lives, and its impact on our societies. Starting from a thirty-five-thousand-year-old sound, he goes on to evoke the memory and work of the composer J. S. Bach particularly and considers modern classical music and its future. In this essay, he also explores the importance and value of various profane and religious musical genres in order to show how they all can restore humanism and harmonize our planet.

The Intellectual Roots of Contemporary Black Thought examines the ways in which the intellectual production of notable historical figures of Africa Diasporan Thought has shaped, and continues to shape, social and political discourses in relation to peoples of African descent. With an internationalist approach, this volume places the philosophies of intellectuals and activists from different regions in cross-generational dialogues. The work studies seminal publications from the 1700s to the late 1800s, including monographs, manifestos, speeches, and letters, analyzing the subsequent influence of such publications on the works of later thinkers and scholars of the 1900s. Hinged in qualitative and critical analysis, it investigates the extent to which the intellectual works of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have influenced education and institutions over time, scrutinizing the multifaceted contemporary outcomes of historical practices through the theories of historical knowledge. The excerpts and translations in the text engage readers in informed and meaningful interactions, with the philosophies of liberation, reparation, and rehabilitation. This book contributes to the fields of intellectual historiography, human rights, political philosophy, social thought, and critical race theory and will be of interest to students and scholars of history, politics, and philosophy.

Dans Réflexions Stratégiques sur Haïti: Sauvons un Patrimoine Universel en Péril, Luc Rémy offre une remarquable lecture haïtiano-centriste de la Politique Internationale. Il la construit autour de trois points clé : 1. le cadeau de la Révolution haïtienne d’une espèce humaine nouvelle à l’Histoire universelle; 2. l’éternel contentieux occidentalo-haïtien et le péril sur la Nation; 3. la prise en charge indispensable. Le premier point présente le prototype de l’homme nouveau ; il est anti-esclavage, anti-colonie, anti-métropole, anti-impérialiste, antiracisme, antiségrégationniste, etc. Par cette création humaniste suprême, Haïti s’est érigée en Patrimoine universel. Ce beau et sublime péché contre le standard international de l’époque a généré et entretient encore le contentieux : dans la conscience, l’inconscient et l’imaginaire collectifs des pouvoirs d’État de l’Occident, Haïti est un ennemi barbare et inconciliable. Servi par nos alliances internationales patricides, le triomphe du modèle diplomatique jeffersonien et talleyrandien, d’essence raciste et revancharde -aux dépens de l’adamien-, le veut ainsi. Haïti est donc un obstacle permanent à la conscience et buts traditionnels récurrents de l’ordre international hégémonique. Il faut toujours la “tenir en laisse” et la réduire à sa plus simple expression (serait-ce jusqu’à la solution f ?). Embargo, tutelle et occupation continus par des forces étrangères, élimination des Haïtiens, spoliation et sabotage du patrimoine national, tout concourt au retour à la barbarie (l’esclavage) par l’exploitation de notre sol et de nos massives mines ... Le péril n’est pas seulement contre Haïti! La construction d’un leadership national capable et humaniste s’impose.
