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, 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.
