Philosophy and the African American Modern 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.
Anthony Sean Neal is Beverly B. and Gordon W. Gulmon Humanities Professor and faculty fellow in the Shackouls Honors College at Mississippi State University.
Chapter 1: Struggling for Freedom Between Death (slavery) and Life Chapter 2: The New Negro's Negritude Chapter 3: From Harlem to Paris (And Back) Chapter 4: From Montgomery to West Africa Chapter 5: From Freedom to Fragmentation Through Liberalism
Ranging across nearly a century of Africana intellectual history, Anthony Sean Neal offers an ambitious and sweeping thematization of diverse approaches to the long struggle for freedom. Neal's articulation of the 'Freedom Gaze' provides a crucial tool not only for understanding that history, but our present struggles and possible futures. -- Michael J. Monahan, University of Memphis
