This work follows the clues of a comment made by Stuart Hall about his own trajectory, which he qualifies from the idea of "prism of Caribbean formation". The theme is addressed here by the scope of emancipation, arguing that the quest for the realization of political universals, in particular that of freedom, gains specific shades in the Caribbean Sea. These tones are ultimately where the decolonizing potential of being resides, as developed by Nelson Maldonado-Torres. It is discussed as a tradition of discussion on the subject of emancipation that goes back to Hegel is in the hands of a Caribbean author, Fanon, displaced by such prism of Caribbean formation. Finally, it is argued that Fanon's movement is not limited only to his work, but finds intellectual expression in other authors in the region, and that a Black Atlantic Political Sociology must take this specific engagement made possible by the "prism" as analytical category.
