ABSTRACT
So far, our analyses of AfroCaribbean philosophy have focused on two major fissures within the field as a whole: first, the deep cleavages between the African heritage and the remainder of the field; and second, the opposition between its historicist and poeticist wings. We are not through with these issues yet and will return to them in chapter 10. Now it is time to focus more intensely on the historicist school, the divisions within it, and the crises that have overtaken its praxis.
