It is clear that an understanding of Caribbean political philosophy is an understanding of the postcolonial project. In critically assessing the utility of creolization as an analytical tool for overcoming questions surrounding the conceptual relevance and political effectiveness of Caribbean philosophy in its anti-colonial aspects, what has been unfolded is that creolizaion can in fact be used to sift out a distinctiveness in Caribbean philosophy. As earlier engaged Creolization refers to the interplay between world culture and national cultures, focusing on how commodities, or cultural objects and practices more generally, are assigned meanings and uses in receiving cultures. However, they are peculiar issues that present themselves that not only questions whether the methodical process of creolization thought important or relevant enough to be discussed in alignment to the issues in Caribbean philosophy. Yet looking at creolization and its impact on the political make up of political thought, it is acknowledged that the ideologies of the Caribbean people are in play. Caribbean philosophy in and of its current form cannot be said to have fully matured in mine eyes but this may just be the problem for us as political thinking Caribbean people in that we need to liberate our minds from Western influences. Honestly there is a need for us as Caribbean people to be disentangled with the influence of the western, which would cause a greater sense of individuality to our political ideologies. In providing a link, mention of those values, norms, practices and attitudes which make up the ‘creole’ of the people are essential to Caribbean philosophy. The Caribbean people should look inwards and develop alternative ways of conducting their affairs. In the spirit of creolization, they should make use of the knowledge gained from the interactive process with other cultures to better their human, social and spiritual conditions. It is as Derek Walcott, once wrote: “Colonials, we began with this malarial enervation: that nothing could ever be built among these rotting shacks, barefooted backyards and moulting shingles; … If there was nothing, there was everything to be made.” Therein it is cemented Caribbean political thought is ere to stay and prosper, not only in its relevance but in its effectiveness.
