This teaching tool discusses the relevance of the journal Lotus: Afro-Asian Writings, a trilingual (Arabic, English, French) quarterly published by the Afro-Asian Writers Association from 1968 to 1991, for the development of critical and anticolonial pedagogies. Lotus embodied a project of intellectual, political, and aesthetic internationalism, which promoted solidarity as an editorial praxis, debated it theoretically, and textualized it as genre and form. Therefore, Lotus offers students and educators a vast archive to analyse the relationship between anticolonial scholarship, anticolonial creativity, and anticolonial militancy in the Global South.
