Abstract

Decolonizing our gaze of Arturo Schomburg in the twenty-first century involves acknowledging and refining our transnational framing of his contributions to the African diaspora's intellectual history, especially in light of his pan-Caribbean life experiences, projects, and collaborations. This essay proposes we explore Schomburg's legacy as a figure whose ideas inform contemporary Caribbean and Caribbean American philosophy, whose activities in the 1930s in some crucial ways pivot around the Cuban intellectual scene of the era, and whose work poses an urgent challenge to transcend the usual conceptual silos intrinsic to teaching and research in American studies.
