Beskrivning
Discussions of racism and antiracism are a central part of today's national conversation. The political environment is filled with challenging questions around race and politics. This introductory textbook combines intellectual history, political biography, and philosophy in a manner that incorporates the contributions and ideas of African American political thinkers into a comprehensive, engaging narrative. Acting as a companion to primary source documents, the text frames these figures and their ideologies within their historical and political contexts. African American political thinkers throughout history have been at the forefront of considering how to counteract racism and achieve racial justice. By examining the evolution of the core figures, concepts, and movements of African American political thought over time, students will be able to apply theory to both historical and current contexts. This text provides a multicultural lens to challenge commonly held understandings of traditional western thought as future leaders tackle challenging questions.

'Comprehensive and highly teachable, this thoughtfully organized chronological survey traces the development of African American political thought from early enslavement resisters like David Walker to contemporary post-Civil Rights scholarship and Afrofuturism. The text skillfully presents progressive and conservative perspectives while student-centered study questions foster critical analysis and meaningful classroom discussion, making it an outstanding resource for classroom learning and discussion.'
