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
Rivera Berruz, Jacoby Adeshei Carter, Nadia Celis, Tommy J. Curry,

The Black male scholars within this important book are painfully
aware that the brutal murder of George Floyd was not due to a few
"bad apples." They understand that they are perceived as "threats"
and "criminals" within a distorted white imaginary that is embedded
with processes of mythopoetic construction, racial capitalism, and
a deep anti-Black male social ontology. Edited by prominent
philosopher George Yancy, Black Men from behind the Veil:
Ontological Interrogations emphasizes the importance of Black male
epistemic agency and courage to speak the truth regarding an
America that values Black male life on the cheap and that attempts
to control the movement of Black men, their capacity to breathe,
and their being through anti-Black technologies of surveillance,
confinement, policing, and white nation-building. There is no
single monolithic Black male voice that dominates this crucial and
necessary text. Each voice speaks of pain behind the Veil,
revealing narrative specificity and an important recursive truth:
Black men, within the white American psyche, are both necessary and
yet disposable. The existential and sociohistorical weight of this
truth is made painfully clear through the voices of these Black
men.
Reimagining Black Masculinities: Race, Gender, and Public Space
addresses how Black masculinities are created, negotiated, and
contested in public spaces, focusing on how theory meets praxis
when mobilizing for social change. Contributors disentangle
complexities of the Black experience and reimagine the radical
progressive work required for societal health and wellbeing,
forming a mental picture of what the world has the potential to be
without excluding current realities for Black boys and men, civic
manhood, maleness, and the fluidity of masculinities. These
realities are acknowledged and interrogated across private and
public contexts, media, education, occupation, and theoretical
perspectives. This book encourages readers to reenvision social
identity as an ongoing phenomenon, asserting that collective vision
informs action and collective action informs possibilities for
peace and freedom in the world around us. Scholars of
communication, gender studies, and race studies will find this book
particularly interesting.
There exists a very rich, but largely untapped well of African
American philosophical thought, in which many Black thinkers were
debating the role philosophy played in racial advancement among
themselves. One such work that demonstrates this vibrant tradition
is William H. Ferris's The African Abroad or, His Evolution in
Western Civilization: Tracing His Development under Caucasian
Milieu. In 1913, Ferris composed and published one of the most
authoritative encyclopedias of Black (African-American) thought and
Black civilization. The African Abroad was well known and widely
engaged with in Black debates about philosophy, politics and
history through the mid-1900's, yet has largely disappeared from
contemporary scholarship. The text itself offers readers the first
evidence of a Black idealist philosophy of history that seeks to
explain the evolution of the Negro race the world over. The African
Abroad establishes a system of thought starting from God, the
revelation of knowledge God offers humanity through history, and
finally the Negro problem. Ferris offers the world a Black
philosophical perspective currently unavailable in any collection
of Black authors. He is a racial idealist who offers systematic
thinking about the world faced by the Negro in the first decade of
the 20th century. This edition includes Ferris's Philosophical
Treatises from Sections I-III from The African Abroad. Tommy J.
Curry includes two comprehensive introductory essays highlighting
the significance of Ferris's text in the study of African American
philosophy, and the possible contributions Ferris's thoughts on
ethnological thought, the philosophy of history and the role of
race play in the larger field of American philosophy.

The Before Columbus Foundation 2018 Winner of the AMERICAN BOOK
AWARD Tommy J. Curry's provocative book The Man-Not is a
justification for Black Male Studies. He posits that we should
conceptualize the Black male as a victim, oppressed by his sex. The
Man-Not, therefore,is a corrective of sorts, offering a concept of
Black males that could challenge the existing accounts of Black men
and boys desiring the power of white men who oppress them that has
been proliferated throughout academic research across disciplines.
Curry argues that Black men struggle with death and suicide, as
well as abuse and rape, and their genred existence deserves study
and theorization. This book offers intellectual, historical,
sociological, and psychological evidence that the analysis of
patriarchy offered by mainstream feminism (including Black
feminism) does not yet fully understand the role that
homoeroticism, sexual violence, and vulnerability play in the
deaths and lives of Black males. Curry challenges how we think of
and perceive the conditions that actually affect all Black males.
