A collection of essays that engages two fundamental social and political issues: community and identity. Within the Africana world, the contributors delve into the influences of a postmodern world of globalization with outdated, crumbling forms of identity and sociality.
The Quest for Community and Identity is a testimony to the vibrancy of Africana philosophy and the seriousness of the philosophical issues that Africana philosophy raises.
Recommended for mid- to upper-level courses on African American social and political thought.
A significant contribution to social and political philosophy, critical race theory, and African American or Africana Philosophy. . . . The Quest for Community and Identity is an important resource for a number of disciplines and interdisciplinary endeavors.
