Color and Culture: Black Writers and the Making of the Modern Intellectual New edition
Ross Posnock
Posnock offers a new historical perspective on “black intellectuals” as a social category, ranging from Douglass to Patricia Williams, from Du Bois to Samuel Delany and Adrienne Kennedy. These writers challenge two durable assumptions: that high culture is “white culture” and that racial uplift is the sole concern of the black intellectual.
