Creating a Black Vernacular Philosophy explores how everyday Black
vernacular practices, developed to negotiate survival and joy, can
be understood as philosophy in their own right. Devonya N. Havis
argues that many unique cultural and intellectual practices of
African diasporic communities have done the work of traditional
philosophies. Focusing on creative practices that take place within
Black American diasporic cultures via narratives, the blues, jazz,
work songs, and other expressive forms, this book articulates a
form of Black vernacular Philosophy that is centered within and
emerges from meaning structures cultivated by Black communities.
These distinct philosophical practices, running parallel with and
often improvising on European philosophy, should be acknowledged
for their rigorous theoretical formation and for their disruption
of traditional Western philosophical ontologies.
