"Back to the future": progettualità di un'utopia attiva

Abstract
Afrotopia is the name of a place not yet inhabited, the a-topos of an arriving Africa. In his recent book, Felwine Sarr writes a manifesto of the new African intelligentsia looking for unprecedented metaphors and imageries to realize the enormous potential of the continent at an economic, social, political and, above all, cultural level.
