Leupin talks about Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who is very much a presence in Edouard Glissant's work, from the very beginning of his career as an essayist. In L'intention poetique, Hegel is shown as exempting African history from his universal history. Glissant intends to fill this silence, not accomplish a revenge on Hegel or for the impish pleasure of contradicting him but to instantaneously recover those enormous and silent spaces where history went astray. Paradoxically, Glissant criticizes Hegel for not being universal and systematic enough. The erasure of African history not only invalidates Hegel's claim to universality, but indicates a lack in the system.
