Sartre’s philosophical concepts are fundamentally open, for instance his notions of humanism, bad-faith, and freedom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a situational, committed thinker, Sartre worked to illuminate the urgent questions of his time at the concrete and the abstract level. The creolization of Sartrean thinking is consistent with the existential projects of engagement, authenticity, political commitment, and liberation from oppression. This volume asks how his European model of phenomenology was (and can be) transformed when it is taken up by thinkers who have lived experience with colonialism. They book also engages Sartre in his relation to key interlocutors (especially Beauvoir and Fanon) who were influenced by him and who influenced him in turn. The book demonstrates how Sartrean philosophy is productively related to Africana philosophy, Africana phenomenology, and Africana existentialism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume treats creolization not as a discrete topic, but as an interdisciplinary, global approach to reading and thinking. Each author’s contribution embodies an aspect of creolizing thinking, understood as the articulation of cultural and conceptual hybridity under conditions of eurocentrism, epistemic colonialism and the legacies of slavery. Creolizing Sartre re-reads Sartrean texts to recast existential themes through the lens of Caribbean philosophies and the broader philosophies of the Global South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSouleymane Bachir Diagne, (Columbia University), Preface\u003cbr\u003eKris Sealey and T Storm Heter, Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLewis Gordon, (University of Connecticut), Global Existentialism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMichael Monahan, (University of Memphis), Racial Praxis: Black Liberation and the Movement From Series to Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThomas Meagher, (University of Memphis), Creolized Reflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCraig Matarrese, (Minnesota State University, Mankato) Jazz Improvisation and Creolizing Phenomenology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNathalie Nya, (John Carroll University), Reversing the Gaze, Sartre’s Preface to Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSybil Cooksey, (New York University), Miles’s Smiles: Mid-Century Portraits of Improvised Freedom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNathifa Greene, (Gettysburg College), Creolization and Contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJonathan Webber, (Cardiff University) Transcendental Phenomenology Meets Negritude Poetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJames Haile III, (University of Rhode Island), Sartre and Black Aesthetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouglas Ficek, (University of New Haven), Creolization Is a Humanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLawrence Bamikole,(University of the West Indies, Mona) Sartre's Existentialism and the Communal Thesis in Afro-Caribbean Philosophy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHiroaki Seki, (University of Tokyo), Kenzaburo Oe and his Sartrean Postures: A Case Study of Creolization in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKimberly S.
