Radical Humanism uses concepts from Marxism, anarchism, critical theory, psychoanalysis, and African, Asian, and Latin American philosophies to critique bourgeois, liberal, and Eurocentric humanism(s) from the perspectives of Indigenous studies, Black studies, and postcolonial/decolonial studies.

The book problematizes and expands the Euromodern conception of the "human" to document and develop critical epistemologies, ontologies, and methodologies that honor the complexities of humans around the world. It takes a particular focus on those who have historically been excluded from the category of "human," including Indigenous, Black, and Global Southern humans. Contributors critically engage with humanism from a pluriversal perspective, honoring non- European ways of knowing and being, while providing a dialoguebetween multiple voices and viewpoints.

The book will be of interest to scholars and advanced students interested in decolonizing perspectives in psychology, the humanities, and social sciences.
