This book charts an interdisciplinary narrative of literary
pragmatism and creative democracy across the writings of African
American women, from the works of nineteenth-century philosophers
to the novels and short stories of Harlem Renaissance authors. The
book argues that this critically neglected narrative forms a
genealogy of black feminist intersectionality and a major
contribution to the development of American pragmatism. Bringing
together the philosophical writings of Maria Stewart, Anna Julia
Cooper, and Mary Church Terrell and the fictional works of Jessie
Fauset, Nella Larsen, and Zora Neale Hurston, this text provides a
literary pragmatist study of the archetypes, tropes, settings, and
modes of resistance that populate the narrative of creative
democracy. Above all, this book considers how these philosophers
and authors construct democracy as a lived experience that gains
meaning not through state institutions but through communities
founded on relationships among black women and their shared
understandings of culture, knowledge, experience, and rebellion.
This book examines the interdisciplinary foundations of pragmatism
from a literary perspective, tracing the characters and settings
that populate the narratives of pragmatist thought in Henry James's
work. Cultivated during a postwar era of industrial change and
economic growth, pragmatism emerged in the late nineteenth century
as the new shape of American intellectual identity. Charles Peirce,
William James, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. were close friends
who founded different branches of pragmatism while writing on a
vast array of topics. Skeptical about philosophy, William James's
brother, Henry, stood at the margins of this group, crafting his
own version of pragmatism through his novels and short stories.
Gregory Phipps argues that James's fiction weaves together the
varied depictions of individuality, society, experience, and truth
found in the works of Peirce, Holmes, and William James. By doing
so, James brings to narrative life a defining moment in American
intellectual and material history.
