The twenty-first century presents unique political challenges, like
increasing concern over racially based police brutality and mass
incarceration, continuing economic and gender inequality, the rise
of conservative and libertarian politics, and the appropriate role
of religion in American politics. Current scholarship in American
political thought research neither adequately responds to the
contemporary moment in American politics nor fully captures the
depth and scope of this rich tradition. This collection of essays
offers an innovative expansion of the American political tradition.
By exposing the major ideas and thinkers of the four major yet
still underappreciated alternative traditions of American political
thought-African American, feminist, radical and conservative-this
book challenges the boundaries of American political thinking about
such values like freedom, justice, equality, democracy, economy,
rights, identity, and the role of the state in American life. These
traditions, the various authors show in different ways, not only
present a much fuller and more accurate characterization of what
counts as American political thought. They are also especially
unique for the conceptual resources they provide for addressing
contemporary developments in American politics. Offering an
original and substantive interpretation of thinkers and movements,
American Political Thought will help students understand how to put
American political thought into conversation with contemporary
debates in political theory.
