Philosophizing the Americas establishes the field of inter-American
philosophy. Bringing together contributors who work in Africana
Philosophy, Afro-Caribbean philosophy, Latin American philosophy,
Afro-Latin philosophy, decolonial theory, and African American
philosophy, the volume examines the full range of traditions that
have, separately and in conversation with each other, worked
through how philosophy in both establishes itself in the Americas
and engages with the world from which it emerges. The book traces a
range of questions, from the history of philosophy in the Americas
to philosophical questions of race, feminism, racial eliminativism,
creolization, epistemology, coloniality, aesthetics, and
literature. The essays place an impressive range of philosophical
traditions and figures into dialogue with one another: some
familiar, such as José Martí, Sylvia Wynter, Martin R. Delany,
José Vasconcelos, Alain Locke, as well as such less familiar
thinkers as Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, Hilda Hilst, and George
Lamming. In each chapter, the contributors find fascinating and
productive matrices of tension or convergence in works throughout
the Americas. The result is an original and important contribution
to knowledge that introduces readers from various disciplines to
unfamiliar yet compelling ideas and considers familiar texts from
novel and prescient perspectives. Philosophizing the Americas
stands alone as a representation of current scholarly debates in
the field of inter-American philosophy. Contributors: Stephanie
