Description
Addresses the pressing need for a liberatory critical theory that is responsive to contemporary challenges, exploring the intersections between Herbert Marcuse's critical theory and Africana and Caribbean theory.
This collection challenges the academic domestication of critical theory and revitalizes Marcuse, employing creolization as a method to disrupt and reconfigure the Western canon.
This is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the role that critical theory should play in today's world. With a focus on Marcuse, the essays collected here engage the with Global South to radically refigure European critical theory. Creolization, taken as a deliberate and strategic blending of differing systems of thought and practice, is deployed to interrogate the vestiges of racism and coloniality in European critical theory.
With incisive analyses offered from Black, feminist, and queer critical theorists and theories, and rooted in the Global South, these essays offer perspectives that put philosophy into concrete, political, public, and lived practices.
