The pages that follow take up this task through a series of philosophies co- constituted in dialogue with Glissant. Reading Glissant generatively (albeit, at times errantly) through the optic of 'translations', this paper takes up the 'big' questions confronting political philosophy, such as, 'thinking', 'being', 'freedom', 'difference', 'space', and 'time'. Suggesting that these questions can be usefully approached from the tortured landscape of the Caribbean, this paper makes the case for orienting critical inquiry and political action around modalities of relationality, multiplicity, and non-systematicity. In doing so, this paper puts forward a poetic mode of critique, which, while thinking through the world- breaking historical violence instituted by coloniality, slavery, and other dispossessions, is immanently able to overcome them through an affirmative, de-territorialised, and inventive ethico-political stance. 606 $aAnthropology$2bicssc 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 610 $aculture religion and identity 610 $adecoloniality 610 $adiscrimination 610 $aidentity 610 $amultiplicity 610 $aslavery 615 7$aAnthropology 615 7$aSociology 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910743290103321 996 $aSitting in the Room with Glissant$93559985 997 $aUNINA
