Creolizing Marcuse forefronts the missed connections between contemporary readings of Marcuse and Caribbean/Africana theory to reveal how the straight boundaries of the politics of purity and scarcity mindset have explicitly and implicitly occupied Marcusean scholarship historically and contemporarily. This volume intends to celebrate, rather than flatten the ambiguous and indeterminate contours of Marcusean theory to produce meaningful challenges to impasses that have arisen in contemporary debates about freedom, reciprocity, liberation, oppression, repression, and object relations theory. Additionally, Creolizing Marcuse does not seek to produce further theory with which decolonial, anti-racist, feminist, and queer critical theorists stand still but rather encourages theorists, activists, and scholar-activists to incorporate Marcusean insights into dynamic practices of being in difference.
