Overview
Overview
Collating, for the first time, the key writings of Leonard Harris, this volume introduces readers to one of the most important and influential African American voices in contemporary philosophy.
Harris' work on insurrectionist ethics, political philosophy, and writings on both Alain Locke and Margaret Walker have established him as a leading figure in continental thought. His incredibly timely and urgent responses to structural racism and structural violence, including iconic cases in contemporary American culture such as the killing of Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin, mark him out as a bold cultural commentator. The wealth and depth of Harris' writings are brought to the fore in this collection and the incisive introduction by Lee McBride and the afterword by Harris serve to orient, contextualize, thematize, and frame an oeuvre that spans four centuries.
As well as serving as an introduction to Harris' philosophy, Leonard Harris: Selected Writings provides new insights into how his work continues to play a crucial role in how we conceptualize race, resistance, and insurrection in the 21st century.
