Beskrivning

Philosophy and the Modern African American Freedom Struggle: A Freedom Gaze describes the ideas that defined the movement and struggle to be free by Black people in the United States during their Modern Era. Using a historical perspective, this work engages the question of how the historical experience of oppression and the denial of humanity created space for the development of a certain consciousness. The existence and demonstration of agency within the ideas of the African diaspora and the creation of an intentional community with the aim of defining and attaining freedom are dissected in order to understand the Black community as a whole during the modern era.This book was nominated for ?the 2023 Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Award in nonfiction.

Recensioner i media

With a foreword by the eminent Leonard Harris, Neal’s Philosophy and the Modern African American Freedom Struggle is a dense investigation of the Black intellectual history and social activism of the modern era in the US. Neal gracefully brings together both passion and clarity, leading the reader to a deeper understanding of the complexity of the struggle for freedom and equality within a society that fails to live up to those ideals. Neal’s historical narrative will be useful for students and scholars in African American studies, American studies, history, philosophy, or for any research project that engages civil rights, oppression, freedom, Blackness, and race more generally. Recommended. General readers through faculty.
