The collection examines the structural \u003ci\u003esubjugation \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003econdemnation \u003c\/i\u003eof 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 \u003ci\u003edehumanization \u003c\/i\u003eand\/or \u003ci\u003einvisibilization \u003c\/i\u003ewithin 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 \u003ci\u003ebeyond \u003c\/i\u003eknowledge and epistemic formations that have worked to “naturalize” this condition within the West’s various socio-human formations. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eThe 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 \u003ci\u003ecritical \u003c\/i\u003e– but also \u003ci\u003eemancipatory \u003c\/i\u003e– epistemology.
