Opis

Toward Singularity is a book of philosophic essays that engage the Quiescent/Self-Liberative Contradiction--a reformulation of Du Boisian "double consciousness"--as the authentic African response to European global domination. It addresses the encounter of the Contradiction with the following: racism and the myth of European racial superiority; European Christian religion; African mis-education; the question of violence; African American movements in Philadelphia and the intersection with Asian American history; the African Public Sphere; and African and African American philosophy. "A remarkable and brilliant response to the contemporary dilemmas of being African in a Eurocentric hegemonic world. Churchville, always the teacher, has taught us the most authentic way to respond to the contradictions of place and time. Readers of this book will be blessed with knowledge and wisdom."
