Glissant is clear in teaching us that mondialitié is not universalism (or globalization) but a worldliness that is determined by our relation to knowledge of the world; knowledge and experience constituted through communal, not individual, experience (or perhaps filiative experiences if we combine Said and Glissant). In this relation to the world, colonial, marginalized, and racialized subjects know a world that is otherwise imperceptible and illegible to—if not negated by—those in power and those of privilege, those who themselves have dragged so many to genocide, to the “abyss.”"
