- Abstract:
- Seminar on conceptions of “race” in classical German thinkers (including Leibniz, Kant, Herder, Hegel, Kleist, A. von Humboldt), and their reception in twentieth-century North American, Francophone African, French, and Caribbean political thought. (As taught at Princeton University, 2013)
- Notes:
- This course has been taught at Princeton, UCLA, and Brown, based on my research on the concept of "race" in 18th and 19th-century German thought. (See my article "Senghor's Other Europe," which is posted on this site, and my forthcoming book, The Voice of Time: Classical German Thought in W.E.B. Du Bois's The Souls of Black Folk.)
