This podcast episode delves into the groundbreaking work of Sylvia Wynter, a Jamaican novelist, playwright, and philosopher.

Wynter's scholarship challenges traditional Western thought by examining how race and colonialism have shaped our understanding of what it means to be human. She argues that dominant power structures have created a limited view of humanity, excluding the experiences and knowledge of marginalized groups. Through her concept of "genres of being human," Wynter explores alternative ways of understanding ourselves and the world around us.

Join us as we discuss Wynter's key ideas and their implications for decolonizing knowledge, rethinking identity, and imagining a more just future.
