Against the lethargy and despair of the contemporary Anglophone
Caribbean experience, Aaron Kamugisha gives a powerful argument for
advancing Caribbean radical thought as an answer to the conundrums
of the present. Beyond Coloniality is an extended meditation on
Caribbean thought and freedom at the beginning of the 21st century
and a profound rejection of the postindependence social and
political organization of the Anglophone Caribbean and its
contentment with neocolonial arrangements of power. Kamugisha
provides a dazzling reading of two towering figures of the
Caribbean intellectual tradition, C. L. R. James and Sylvia Wynter,
and their quest for human freedom beyond coloniality. Ultimately,
he urges the Caribbean to recall and reconsider the radicalism of
its most distinguished 20th-century thinkers in order to imagine a
future beyond neocolonialism.
