<p>"Strongly recommended for all library collections..." -- <em>Choice</em><br />"'What does it mean to be a problem?' In the innovative essays of <em>Existentia Africana,</em> Lewis Gordon returns to the exploration both of W.E.B. Dubois' question, as well as of the emancipatory tradition of Black existential thought...It is an immense and profoundly original undertaking." -- Sylvia Wynter, author of <em>Do Not Call Us</em><em>Negroes: How Multicultural Textbooks Perpetuate Racism</em> and Professor Emerita, Stanford University<br />"In <em>Existentia Africana,</em> Lewis Gordon is once again at his philosophical best. Continuing from where he left off in <em>Existence in Black,</em> Gordon develops Africana philosophy and critical race theory to a higher level of sophistication and originality that will certainly make him a forceful voice of the next millennium. Indeed, a much needed and truly liberating contribution." -- Mabogo P. More, University of Durban-Westville, South Africa<br />"Gordon once again brings his mastery of existentialist writers such as Frantz Fanon and Sartre to bear on issues confronting black intellectuals." -- M. Stewart, Austin College<br />"This study gives Africana existential philosophy perhaps its most exhaustive analysis... The author discerns a dominant and pervasive race consciousness in Africana existential thought... Gordon has made a definitive statement of the wealth, validity, and historicity of Africana existential thought." -- Tunde Adeleke, University of Montana</p>
