"For Lamming, one terror of the old colonial empire was what he calls 'the terror of the mind', a peculiar toxic form of hegemony which seeks to shape and bend the subject it rules.

In such a context, the sovereignty of the imagination becomes one foundation for the imagining and desire for freedom." -- Taken from the introduction by Anthony Bogues
