Please join the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies in celebrating the release of the new book African American Political Thought: A Collected History, edited by Melvin L. Rogers (Brown University) and Jack Turner (University of Washington). Rogers and Turner and other contributors to the volume will present their work, followed by questions and answers and discussion. African American Political Thought (University of Chicago Press, 2021) offers an unprecedented philosophical history of thinkers from the African American community and African diaspora who have addressed the central issues of political life: democracy, race, violence, liberation, solidarity, and mass political action. Melvin L. Rogers and Jack Turner have brought together leading scholars to reflect on individual intellectuals from the past four centuries, developing their list with an expansive approach to political expression. The collected essays consider such figures as Martin Delany, Ida B. Wells, W. E. B. Du Bois, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and Audre Lorde. To learn more about the book, visit press.uchicago.edu… |
