Beauty as Propaganda
This paper considers W.E.B. Du Bois’s short story, “Jesus Christ in Texas,” in the perspective of his analysis of the concept of beauty in Darkwater (1920); his exposition of the idea that “all art is propaganda” in “Criteria of Negro Art” (1926); and his moral psychology of white supremacy. On my account, Du Bois holds that beautiful art can help to undermine white supremacy by using representations of moral goodness to expand the white supremac…

Du Bois" / "Race
Contemporary philosophers have devoted considerable attention to W. E. B. Du Bois's definition of race in "The Conservation of Races" (1897). Indeed, they have given more attention to Du Bois's definition of race in that essay than to his treatment of any other philosophical issue elsewhere in his writings. Nearly all that attention can be traced to Kwame Anthony Appiah's controversial, early engagement with Du Bois in "The Uncompleted Argument: …
History of African American Political Thought and Antiracist Critical Theory
The relationship between antiracist critical theory and the study of the history of African American thought merits consideration in light of an ongoing debate between anachronists and antiquarians about the relationship between the current practice of philosophy and the study of the history of philosophy. Contemporary antiracist critical theory is extensive and includes expansive genealogical and critical historical accounts of modern racism; ra…
Autobiography, Political Hope, Racial Justice
After the overthrow of Jim Crow and the reelection of our first Black president, how should we conceptualize the tasks of a racially progressive politics in the United States? I address this question through (1) the lens of recent philosophical work on the relation between narrative and the justification of political hope and (2) a comparison of two autobiographies, Barack Obama'sDreams of My Fatherand W. E. B. Du Bois'sDusk of Dawn.In light of t…

Reading Rodney King/Reading Urban Uprising
Reading Rodney King/Reading Urban Uprising keeps the public debate alive by exploring the connections between the Rodney King incidents and the ordinary workings of cultural, political, and economic power in contemporary America. Its recurrent theme is the continuing, complicated significance of race in American society. Contributors: Houston A. Baker, Jr.; Judith Butler; Sumi K. Cho; Kimberle Crenshaw; Mike Davis; Thomas L. Dumm; Walter C. Farre…
Du Bois’s Counter-Sublime
The Problem of the Future World
While most of the best scholarship on W. E. B. Du Bois's understanding of the concept of race has concentrated on his early works such as “The Conservation of Races” (1898) and The Souls of Black Folk (1903), it has given comparatively less detailed attention to his midcentury writings. Eric Porter's new book, The Problem of the Future World, is a valuable and welcome contribution to this literature. Its historically grounded and astute interpret…
In the Shadow of Du Bois
Antifoundationalism, Leadership, Black Politics
In the remarks that follow, I attempt to clarify and further to develop some of the key concepts and arguments that I set forth inIn the Shadow of Du Bois(2009). Specifically, I respond to issues that Rogers Smith and Tommie Shelby address with regard to the relationship between elite and democratic politics; to questions that Smith and Cristina Beltrán pose with regard to my "no-foundations" analysis of Black politics; and to a worry Smith prese…
Response to Melanye T. Price's review of In the Shadow of Du Bois
In In the Shadow of Du Bois, I argue that Du Bois' early political thought, as mainly expressed in The Souls of Black Folk, turns on three critical claims: 1) that African American politics is a practice of group leadership—thus, a practice of group rule, or governance, for Du Bois interprets leadership as a form of rule, or governance; 2) that African American politics should take the form of political expressivism, such that it expresses the sp…
Dreaming Blackness
This is a timely, engaging, and illuminating study of Black Nationalism. The book's “fundamental project,” Melanye T. Price writes, “is to systematically understand individual Black Nationalism adherence among African Americans in the post-Civil Rights era” (p. 60). Black Nationalism has a long history in African American politics, but with the demise of Jim Crow and the election of our first black president, we may reasonably wonder whether ordi…

In the remarks that follow I concentrate on Lorenzo Simpson's two books, Technology, Time and the Conversations of Modernity (cited as TTC) and The Unfinished Project: Toward a Postmetaphysical Humanism (cited as UP). Common to both works — what unites them, I believe — is a philosophical orientation that has been deeply influenced by Gadamerian hermeneutics. I begin with a discussion of UP
Iris Marion Young
Iris' written work has been very widely admired; she has obviously helped shape the field of democratic political theory; she has deeply influenced students. The discussion of this work will go on in books and articles until her ideas have been fully absorbed. Here I will say a little about my particular experience of her collegiality. I was Iris' junior colleague at Chicago for six years. I met Iris eight years ago this week, under a portico out…

Zarathustra’s Dionysian Modernism
In arguing that Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a philosophical explanation of the possibility of modernism—that is, of the possibility of radical cultural change through the creation of new values—the author shows that literary fiction can do the work of philosophy. Nietzsche takes up the problem of modernism by inventing Zarathustra, a self-styled cultural innovator who aspires to subvert the culture of modernity (the repressive culture o…

Cet article se penche sur un aspect particulier de la xenophobie mise en evidence par Bonnie Honig dans son analyse du mythe americain du bon immigre : il s'agit du desir ou de la repulsion manifestes a l'egard des Noirs selon l'image fantasmatique qu'ils renvoient de la culture blanche.
