[Commlist] New Book: Mongrelisation

Colin Chasi is humbled to share news of the publication of the monograph 
/Mongrelisation. /The book is//edited by J. Everet Green//as part of 
Brill's Africana Philosophy Series.  Below, kindly find a brief 
description and a link to further information on the work.


'Mongrelisation' is a critical re-interpretation of why diversity and 
inclusion matter. It is a corrective that grants dignity and worth to 
those the ‘mongrel’ epithet is set to insult. Drawing on African moral 
traditions of Ubuntu and Maat, it contends that mongrelity—the reality 
that we are products of mixing and crossing—is too central in our 
histories, biologies, ecologies, and cultures not to be carefully 
humanised. The figure of the mongrel that it puts forward is akin to the 
hybrid, Creole, and coyote. This book includes cosmopolitan, mestizo, 
and Afropolitan perspectives.

'Mongrelisation' is grounded on theorisation of communication as a human 
mode of existence. It says we can rehumanise the world by cooperatively 
enabling differences to interact harmoniously through listening to each 
other.
