Reviews

'This volume is an important text for those interested in the philosophy and history of black political thought.' Melvin Rogers, Brown University 'Today, when views of America as a white nation are resurgent, it is vital to appreciate the profound contributions of a long tradition of black political thought to the struggles and ideals that have shaped all Americans, and all of humanity. Sherrow Pinder's outstanding compilation of seminal writings is invaluable now.' Rogers M. Smith, University of Pennsylvania 'This valuable new collection guides readers through several essential works in African American political thought. Combining classical writings with a range of contemporary commentaries, this volume shows how our understanding of the modern political world is woefully misguided without thoughtful and critical attention to various modes of racial inequality.' Andrew J. Douglas, Morehouse College 'In the long struggle for racial equality, Black contributions in many fields have eventually (if grudgingly) been recognized. But political theory has been an outlier. Sherrow Pinder's invaluable collection on Black political thought will be a great resource for establishing that, in this area also, Black thinkers have developed distinctive ideologies of their own that mainstream political theorists will have to acknowledge and reckon with.' Charles W. Mills, City University of New York Graduate Center
