Postcolonial African Philosophy

Produktbeskrivelse

Postcolonial African Philosophy: A Critical Reader sets out a timely and critical agenda for contemporary African, Afro-Caribbean, and African-American philosophy. With many leading contributors, this collection of newly-commissioned work provides key coverage of the postcolonial and the postmodern; the critique of eurocentrism in philosophy; philosophy in post-independence Africa and post-civil rights black America; multi-culturalism; and inter-cultural dialogue between contemporary African and western philosophy in the academy. In addition, it includes important interventions on the historical, political, and cultural situations of Africa and America at the end of the twentieth century, and philosophy's role in this milieu. Designed to complement Emmanuel Eze's Racist Enlightenment (1996) and African Philosophy: An Anthology (1997) also published by Blackwell, these volumes represent powerful new intervention in a fast developing area of study and research.
