Creolizing Critical Theory

New Voices in Caribbean Philosophy

Deborah A. Thomas | Kris F. Sealey | Jane Anna Gordon | Benjamin P. Davis | Neil Roberts

Philosophy / Movements / Critical Theory

Creolizing Critical Theory highlights the Caribbean as a philosophical site from which, for centuries and until today, theorists have articulated pressing critiques of capitalism and colonialism. Some of these critiques, such as those of the Saramaka Maroons, have stressed the value of autonomy. Others, such as those of the West Indies Federation, have emphasized solidarity in the face of European occupation. Critical Theory, as an emancipatory project rooted in the values of autonomy, solidarity, and equality, then, has long been a Caribbean practice. Drawing on a range of voices, Creolizing Critical Theory centers Caribbean critiques with a view toward praxis in the present.

Benjamin P. Davis is a postdoctoral fellow at Saint Louis University. He is the author of Choose Your Bearing: Édouard Glissant, Human Rights and Decolonial Ethics and Simone Weil’s Political Philosophy: Field Notes from the Margins.

Kris F. Sealey is professor of philosophy at Penn State University. She is the author of Creolizing the Nation and Moments of Disruption: Levinas, Sartre, and the Question of Transcendence.
