François de Negroni

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani speaks of François de Negroni as a friend, close to Clouscard and the publisher of Adotevi in 19981. Above all, he recommends L'Afrique fantasme, a book he calls erudite and funny2. He notes that it offers a typology of the expatriate and the contradictory fantasies of the White man about the African3. He also takes from it the idea that the White man's dream is to be the only White man where he is, a fantasy that, in his view, Lévi-Strauss shares4. He recalls that Negroni taught sociology to the young officer Sankara in Madagascar5 and mentions his concept of "sexpatriation" several times. At first he presents Negroni's book on Clouscard as a biography. Later he specifies that it is rather a part of the author's own life since their meeting6. He also cites Le racisme pro-Corse, the edition of Rousseau's Projet de constitution pour la Corse and Un immense caveau. Finally, he takes up two of his remarks: Greta Thunberg has been robbed of her maturity, and it is Céline's style that is the most Nazi.
