ABSTRACT
The currency arrangement also provides France with a political leverage that has often been activated against “non-compliant” leaders. The discipline itself emerged out of an intellectual taxonomy that made concerns over the “domestic” and the “international” two distinct endeavors. A charismatic autodidact who became an international symbol of the fight for Africa’s independence from colonialism, Patrice Lumumba was born as Elias Okitasombo on July 2, 1925, in Onalua, a village in East Kasai. Coloniality is informed by a “‘racial’ social classification of the world population under Eurocentered world power”. Coloniality remains “the most general form of domination in the world today, once colonization as an explicit political order was destroyed”; it informs, overall, the cornerstone of global power through the reproduction and the entrenching of patterns of thought and action that stem out of colonial reason and morality.
