Sylvia Wynter’s work is distinctively Caribbean. From her exciting and rigorous interventions of ‘folk culture’ and its profound meaning for the symbolic universe of Caribbean reality, creative writing and the nature of Caribbean culture, to her present genealogical critique of Western humanism, Wynter has emerged as one of the region’s premier cultural and social theorists.

This interdisciplinary collection offers a variety of interpretations of Sylvia Wynter’s work and seeks to cover the range of her thoughts. Her rich source of investigation of some of the compelling questions that currently face humanity makes her not just a major Caribbean figure, but a world-class intellectual.

In its explorations of culture, literary theory and philosophy, this volume significantly expands the field of Caribbean intellectual history and will be useful for courses in Cultural Studies; African-American Studies; Intellectual History and Critical Theory.

 

This collection of thought-provoking essays is a timely celebration of the exercise of the creative imagination by Sylvia Wynter one of the Caribbean’s most robust and fertile minds… In her wide-ranging philosophical explorations and critical reflections she has taken on iconic stature.

- Rex Nettleford, Vice Chancellor Emeritus, University of the West Indies, Mona.

 

Anthony Bogues is Professor of African Studies and Teaching Excellence and the current Chair of the Africana Studies Department, Brown University. He is also an Associate Director of the Centre for Caribbean Thought, University of the West Indies, Mona.
