Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
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 Wynters work, highlighting her insights on how race, location, and time together inform what it means to be human. The contributors explore Wynters 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 Wynters engagement with writers such as Frantz Fanon, W. E. B. DuBois, and Aim Csaire, among others; the interview also reveals the everextending range and power of Wynters intellectual project, and elucidates her attempts to rehistoricize humanness as praxis.
