ABSTRACT
From within the Afro-Caribbean intellectual tradition, it is difficult not to see Afro-American philosophy as a brother or sister discourse with Africa and Europe as our parents. Further, from this vantage point Afro-American philosophy also appears to be an interdiscursively embedded auxiliary discourse. Hence it shares the open, de-centered, and multidimensional features that mark Afro-Caribbean philosophy as a minor discourse. Even a cursory look at their major thinkers and patterns of development reveal important overlaps and similarities.
