Existentia Africana: Understanding Africana Existential Thought (Africana Thought)

by Lewis R. Gordon

Existentia Africana: Understanding Africana Existential Thought (Africana Thought) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The intellectual history of the last quarter of this century has been marked by the growing influence of Africana thought--an area of philosophy that focuses on issues raised by the struggle over ideas in African cultures and their hybrid forms in Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean. "Existentia Africana" is an engaging and highly readable introduction to the field of Africana philosophy and will help to define this rapidly growing field. Lewis R. Gordon clearly explains Africana existential thought to a general audience, covering a wide range of both classic and contemporary thinkers--from Douglass and DuBois to Fanon, Davis and Zack.
