For jazz specialist Jean Szlamowicz, this music is part of the artistic movements that remain impervious to decolonial theories. You surely know the new trendy toy: la decolonization. In general, it should be used with the word deconstruction. Very practical, you can apply it to anything you want: “decolonize the arts”, “decolonize the law”, “decolonize the university”… We are waiting to decolonize the imaginary of the baguette and the municipal swimming pool, but that should not be long.
