In this undergraduate textbook Lewis R. Gordon offers the first
comprehensive treatment of Africana philosophy, beginning with the
emergence of an Africana (i.e. African diasporic) consciousness in
the Afro-Arabic world of the Middle Ages. He argues that much of
modern thought emerged out of early conflicts between Islam and
Christianity that culminated in the expulsion of the Moors from the
Iberian Peninsula, and from the subsequent expansion of racism,
enslavement, and colonialism which in their turn stimulated
reflections on reason, liberation, and the meaning of being human.
His book takes the student reader on a journey from Africa through
Europe, North and South America, the Caribbean, and back to Africa,
as he explores the challenges posed to our understanding of
knowledge and freedom today, and the response to them which can be
found within Africana philosophy.
