Sommario/riassunto

This text 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.
