This book recasts Sartrean existentialism through Caribbean philosophies and the broader philosophies of the Global South. Each author’s contribution embodies an aspect of creolizing thinking, understood as the articulation of cultural and conceptual hybridity under conditions of eurocentrism, epistemic colonialism, and the legacies of slavery.
