"This volume offers an original collection of essays that showcase new, exciting, and much-needed philosophical work, carrying on the legacy of the remarkable late Africana philosopher Charles Mills. It invokes the promise of the future of political philosophy at the intersection of philosophy of race and Africana philosophy."Elvira Basevich, University of California, Davis, USA
