  • Descrição: In this paper we combine infrastructure studies and black radical traditions to foreground how imperial remains deeply inform the logics that bring forth contemporary large‐scale infrastructures in Africa. The objective, prompted by the ongoing avid promotion of such architectures on the continent, is to contribute to an analysis that centres race in these projects. Our argument is that these initiatives have to be understood in relation to inherited material and discursive scaffoldings that remain from the colonial period, through what we refer to as imperial remains and imperial invitations. These remains and invitations demonstrate how recent mega infrastructures inhere, in their planning, financing and implementation, a colonial racialism, despite rhetorical claims to the opposite. Empirically, we draw, principally, on China built and financed infrastructure projects from Kenya, and theoretically upon black radical traditions in order to foreground a longer genealogy of black pathologising and resistance to it on the continent. Muhtasari Katika jarida hili tunachanganya masomo ya miundombinu na mila nyeusi kali kwa utabiri wa jinsi ubeberu inabaki kuwajulisha kwa undani mantiki ambayo inaleta miundombinu ya kisasa kubwa katika Afrika. Kusudi, linalosababisha uendelezaji wa usanifu kama huo kwenye bara, ni kuchangia uchanganuzi ambao unasukuma ubaguzi wa rangi katika miradi hii. Hoja yetu ni kwamba mipango hii ya miundombinu lazima ieleweke kwa uhusiano na nyenzo zilizorithiwa na visivyo vya kusambaratisha vilivyobaki kutoka kipindi cha ukoloni, kupitia kile tunachokitaja kama mabaki ya ukoloni na mialiko ya ubeberu. Mabaki haya na mialiko yanaonyesha jinsi miundombinu ya kisasa ilivyo, katika upangaji wao, ufadhili na utekelezaji, ubaguzi wa rangi wa kikoloni, licha ya madai ya pande zote. Kwa nguvu, tunatoa, kimsingi, juu ya China iliyojengwa na kufadhili miradi ya miundombinu kutoka Kenya, na kinadharia juu ya mila nyeusi kali ili kuweka historia ya nasaba ndefu ya udanganyifu na upinzani dhidi yake kwenye bara.
