    Black Knowledges/Black Struggles: Essays in Critical
    Epistemology explores the central but often critically neglected role of
    knowledge and epistemic formations within social movements for Black "freedom"
    and emancipation. The collection examines the structural subjugation and
    condemnation of Black African and Afro-mixed descent peoples globally
    within the past 500 years of trans-Atlantic societies of Western modernity,
    doing so in connection to the population's dehumanization and/or invisibilization
    within various epistemic formations of the West. In turn, the collection
    foregrounds the extent to which the ending of this imposed
    subjugation/condemnation has necessarily entailed critiques of, challenges to,
    and counter-formulations against and beyond knowledge and epistemic
    formations that have worked to "naturalize" this condition within the West's
    various socio-human formations.





    The chapters in the collection engage primarily with knowledge
    formations and practices generated from within the discourse of "race," but
    also doing so in relation to other intersectional socio-human discourses of
    Western modernity. They engage as well the critiques, challenges, and
    counter-formulations put forth by specific individuals, schools, movements,
    and/or institutions - historic and contemporary - of the Black world. Through
    these examinations, the contributors either implicitly point towards, or
    explicitly take part in, the formation of a new kind of critical - but
    also emancipatory - epistemology. What emerges is a novel and more
    comprehensive view of what it means to be human, a formulation that can
    aid in the unlocking and fashioning of species-oriented ways of "knowing"
    and "being" much-needed within the context of ending the continued
    overall global subjugation/condemnation of Black peoples, as a central part of
    ending the "global problematique" that confronts humankind as a whole.
