Joseph Antenor Firmin (1850-1911) was the reigning public
intellectual and political critic in Haiti in the nineteenth
century. He was the first "Black anthropologist" and "Black
Egyptologist" to deconstruct the Western interpretation of global
history and challenge the ideological construction of human nature
and theories of knowledge in the Western social sciences and the
humanities. As an anti-racist intellectual and cosmopolitan
thinker, Firmin's writings challenge Western ideas of the colonial
subject, race achievement, and modernity's imagination of a linear
narrative based on the false premises of social evolution and
development, colonial history and epistemology, and the
intellectual evolution of the Aryan-White race. Firmin articulated
an alternative way to study global historical trajectories, the
political life, human societies and interactions, and the
diplomatic relations and dynamics between the nations and the
races. Reconstructing the Social Sciences and Humanities is the
first full-length book devoted to Joseph Antenor Firmin. It
reexamines the importance of his thought and legacy, and its
relevance for the twenty-first century's culture of humanism, and
the continuing challenge of race and racism.
