Furthermore Professor Mills teaching in the USA for most of his life is not a valid reason. Are Egyptian academics, British because they teach in the UK for most of their lives? His work literally advocated for his race based on Caribbean history. His work speaks for itself. I have been editing the nationality section of his wiki for years. I was in contact with him. I am in contact with many of his peers. I am a student of his work. He was a contributor to The University of The West Indies. You have not given any facts and I have. Let us now find consensus that he is a Caribbean Philosopher from Jamaica.

Please see this video interview of him as well https://amherstmedia.org/content/difficult-dialogues-dr-charles-w-mills-pt1 and the description of him as a Philosopher from Jamaica.

To call him American is to disgrace him, his family, his heritage, Jamaica and the Caribbean. Please stop.

Charles W. Mills Nationality

Good Day Guys,

I've been editing parts of Mills' page for years now. I am concerned about his nationality being designated American. Mills was a Caribbean Philosopher and Jamaican. Even though he was born in the UK and became an American citizen, he was raised by Caribbean parents and spoke with a distinct Jamaican accent. He was also raised in Jamaica and his Philosophical work contributed greatly to the Caribbean. Especially, in Blackness visible which is studied as a staple in Caribbean Philosophy at The University of The West Indies where his father was a lecturer.

Caribbean Philosopher (talk) 17:58, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Caribbean Philosopher, can you please find a reliable source calling him "Caribbean" or "Jamaican"? We need WP:RS for every claim made in an article. I think American is more appropriate because (1) we have sources stating that he is an American citizen; and (2) he taught for the majority of his career in the US. AleatoryPonderings (???)

I already gave you sufficient evidence. He literally grew up in Jamaica. His alma mater is The University of The West Indies which is the Caribbean's premier University. It is a regional university. His work centres on the use of race as base for non-ideal theory as an alternative to Western Liberalism. Most of his work utilises colonial realities based in the Caribbean. Please see Radical Theory, Caribbean Reality: Race, Class and Social Domination by Charles W. Mills. He is literally Jamaican. To classify him as American because he gained American citizenship is to deny his entire family, his heritage and his work. He is taught as a staple throughout Caribbean academia and his work is literally foundational in Caribbean Philosophy. You can find his address to the American Philosophical Association here where he repeatedly speaks about the Caribbean as his foundation. https://blog.apaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/2016-central-dewey-text.pdf . Again in Blackness Visible he did the same. He is a person with whom I corresponded. Please stop watering down his heritage. The man is Caribbean Philosopher from Jamaica. Are you trying to say that all of the Caribbean scholars like Paget Henry, who literally wrote the Book on Caribbean Philosophy, are American just because of citizenship? People can have dual citizenship. Citizenship and nationality are two different things. Literally in law as well.

I just gave you his own work and his biographical information as the most reliable facts. Yet, you are telling me you "feel" American is most appropriate because he had American citizenship. Where are your facts? Do you know anything about the Caribbean reality? Most of the Caribbean population lives outside of the Caribbean and will take up nationality where they live while still being Caribbean.
