- Originally published in French as: Sortir de la grande nuit, copyright © 2010, Editions La Découverte.
- "The English edition of this book does not exactly correspond to what was published in French as Sortir de la grande nuit in 2010, and different passages date from different times of writing and have different translators. Daniela Ginsburg translated the material that came from Sortir de la grande nuit. Portions of this new material is based on work featured in my essay 'Future knowledges and their implications for the decolonizing project' in the book Decolonisation in universities: the politics of knowledge edited by Jonathan Jansen and published by Wits University Press in 2019"--page viii.
- Translated from the French.
