Book excerpt: What might a descendant-benefi- ciary of such a heinous crime do when confronted with the reality of this scenario, and finding a spark of human horror within seeks to at least understand? Enter into the worlds of the most shadowy of memories; undertake to collect and collate memory of the crime scene; approach with utter rever- ence the weight of tragic knowing that descendants bear. [...] By the way, I use the metonym 'Occident' to refer to the ideological space from which the originators and architects of the ca- tastrophe that became colonialism emerged, for the sake of aetiology and the tomb-poking process that is this presentation. [...] But what to do with it when trauma is a multi- prism, multi-form, distinct-char- acter presence? At the core of the tragedy of colonialism is the sad- ness of wilful destruction of the gift and treasure of the intimacy of humanity, of what-could-have- been. [...] The role and power of the African space as a listener to the history of the Occidental is quite possible in the goal towards the re-humanisa- tion of all peoples. [...] Begin, at last, the real age of human discovery of the human and of the custodianship of the earth using the instruments of your time: technology, platforms, codes that confuse us.
