The Jamaican writer and cultural theorist Sylvia Wynter is best
known for her diverse writings that pull together insights from
theories in history, literature, science, and black studies, to
explore race, the legacy of colonialism, and representations of
humanness. "Sylvia Wynter: On Being Human as Praxis" is a critical
genealogy of Wynter's work, highlighting her insights on how race,
location, and time together inform what it means to be human. The
contributors explore Wynter's stunning reconceptualization of the
human in relation to concepts of blackness, modernity, urban space,
the Caribbean, science studies, migratory politics, and the
interconnectedness of creative and theoretical resistances. The
collection includes an extensive conversation between Sylvia Wynter
and Katherine McKittrick that delineates Wynter's engagement with
writers such as Frantz Fanon, W.E.B. DuBois, and Aime Cesaire,
among others; the interview also reveals the ever-extending range
and power of Wynter's intellectual project, and elucidates her
attempts to re-historicize humanness as praxis.
