Kervin Saint Pere opens the archive’s fine wooden drawer to search for the word “Kanake.” He views it as not only a bygone construct of German colonialization, but also as a violent paradigm of the present. He makes the archive material visible mainly through its absences: an unreadability that takes the control away from our colonial gaze.
