ISBN: 9780679763789 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Almost one-hundred years ago, W.E.B.

In this unprecedented collaboration, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Cornel West--two of Du Bois's most prominent intellectual descendants--reassess that relationship and its implications for the future of black Americans. If the 1990s are the best of times for the heirs of the Talented Tenth, they are unquestionably worse for the growing black underclass. As they examine the origins of this widening gulf and...

In the eighteenth century, a small group of black men met the challenge of the Enlightenment by mastering the arts and sciences and writing themselves into history. The battle lines were clear-literacy stood as the ultimate measure of humanity to the white arbiters of Western culture. If blacks could succeed in this sphere, they would prove that African and European humanity were inseparable. Without a literary record, blacks seemed predestined for slavery. The small but dedicated group-now known as the Black Atlantic writers-who stepped forward to meet this challenge published their...

For whether one speaks of tensions between Hasidim and African-Americans in Crown Heights, or violent mass protests against Moscow in ethnic republics such as Armenia, or outright war...

Tucked into its back pages, the memoir included a handwritten tribute to Carter, written by his fellow teachers upon his...
