Phenomenology and existentialism study the structures of consciousness as experienced from the perspective of the subject, yet their methods have been markedly tied to the subjective lived experiences and perspectives of White Europeans and Americans. By centering the experiences of peoples of the African diaspora, gender marginalized people, and queer peoples, Africana existentialist and phenomenologist philosophers in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have been able to generate new frameworks for understanding structures of meaning and consciousness within oppressive colonial orders thus challenging histories of existentialism and phenomenology that bracket social markers of identity and experiences of social identity. This text represents a study of the philosophies of scholars that seek to decolonize hegemonic discourses and structures that impede the development of the selves and projects of colonized peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Decolonizing Existentialism and Phenomenology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Roots of a Decolonial Feminist Philosophy: Beauvoir’s Feminist Phenomenology and Existentialism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Fanon’s Phenomenological Decolonial Psychology and the Negation of Black Subjectivity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Decolonizing the Paradox of Hyper-Visible Bodies, Un-visible Humanity in Wright’s Native Son and Black Boy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Lewis Gordon’s Phenomenology of Racist Bad Faith \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Audre Lorde’s Decolonial, Queer, Black Feminist Phenomenology \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Sylvia Wynter and Jamaica Kincaid: Post-Colonial Feminist Approaches to Lived Experience\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Where do Existentialism and Phenomenology Go from Here?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041251426647,"sku":"9781538178034","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781538178034.jpg?v=1750949522","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/decolonizing-existentialism-and-phenomenology-the-liberation-of-philosophies-of-freedom-and-identity-9781538178034","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
