Philosophizing the Americas establishes the field of inter-American
philosophy. Bringing together contributors who work in Africana
Philosophy, Afro-Caribbean philosophy, Latin American philosophy,
Afro-Latin philosophy, decolonial theory, and African American
philosophy, the volume examines the full range of traditions that
have, separately and in conversation with each other, worked
through how philosophy in both establishes itself in the Americas
and engages with the world from which it emerges. The book traces a
range of questions, from the history of philosophy in the Americas
to philosophical questions of race, feminism, racial eliminativism,
creolization, epistemology, coloniality, aesthetics, and
literature. The essays place an impressive range of philosophical
traditions and figures into dialogue with one another: some
familiar, such as José Martí, Sylvia Wynter, Martin R. Delany,
José Vasconcelos, Alain Locke, as well as such less familiar
thinkers as Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, Hilda Hilst, and George
Lamming. In each chapter, the contributors find fascinating and
productive matrices of tension or convergence in works throughout
the Americas. The result is an original and important contribution
to knowledge that introduces readers from various disciplines to
unfamiliar yet compelling ideas and considers familiar texts from
novel and prescient perspectives. Philosophizing the Americas
stands alone as a representation of current scholarly debates in
the field of inter-American philosophy. Contributors: Stephanie

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.

'Insurrectionist Ethics' is the name given to denote the myriad
forms of justification for radical social transformation in the
interest of freedom for oppressed people. It is a set of advocacy
systems that usually aim at liberation for specified populations
under siege in a given society. While the identities of these
beleaguered groups is always intersectional, one salient criterion
of group membership is often chosen to be the rallying point for
solidarity. Whether the movement is "Black Lives Matter, "Gay
Pride", or "Poor People's Campaign," at the nucleus of each is a
cry for emancipation. The contributions in this volume put forward
bold, forcefully argued, provocative claims that challenge in a
fundamental and radical way the presuppositions, values, and
beliefs that underwrite the systems and structures that
insurrectionist ethics calls into question. The volume begins with
a section defining and theorizing what insurrectionist ethics is,
and then moves to a section studying insurrectionist ethics across
the Americas. Additional sections focus on applications of and
correctives to insurrectionist ethics, pragmatism and naturalism,
and the past, present, and future of insurrectionist ethics.

In Philosophic Values and World Citizenship: Locke to Obama and
Beyond, Alain Locke the central promoter of the Harlem Renaissance,
America's most famous African American pragmatist, the cultural
referent for Renaissance movements in the Caribbean and Africa is
placed in conversation with leading philosophers and cultural
figures in the modern world. The contributors to this collection
compare and contrast Locke's views on values, tolerance,
cosmopolitanism, and American and world citizenship with
philosophers and leading cultural figures ranging from Aristotle,
Immanuel Kant, James Farmer, William James, John Dewey, Jose
Vasconcelos, Hans G. Gadamer, Fredrick Nietzsche, Horace Kallen,
Leroi Jones (Amiri Baraka) to the cultural and political figure of
Barack Obama. This important collection of essays eruditely
presents Locke's views on moral, emotional, and aesthetic values;
the principle of tolerance in managing value conflict; and his
rhetorical style, which conveyed his views of cultural reciprocity
and tolerance in the service of the values of citizenship and
cosmopolitanism. For teachers and students of contemporary debates
in pragmatism, diversity, and value theory, these conversations
define new and controversial terrain.
