This book is a critical edition of six lectures by Alain Leroy
Locke, the intellectual progenitor of the Harlem Renaissance. In
them, Locke offers an Inter-American philosophical account of
important contributions made by Afrodescendant peoples to the art,
literature, and culture of various American societies. Locke offers
a prescient vision of the intersection of the three Americas: Latin
(South) America, the Caribbean, and North America. The book has two
main parts: First, are the lectures, which all relate to the themes
of black cultural contributions throughout the Americas, minority
representation and marginalization in democratic contexts, the
ethics of racial representation, the notion of cultural
transformation and transparency, and the ethical issues involved in
cross-cultural exchanges. The second portion of the book is a
critical interpretive essay that elucidates the Inter-American
philosophical significance of the lectures and their relevance to
current philosophical discussions.
