Beschreibungen/Notizen
Pragmatism and the Politics of Black America (University of Chicago Press, 2007) and Saidiya Hartman's Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Route (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2007), along with scholarship emerging from Black Power studies-notably, Peniel E. Joseph's Waiting 'til the Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America (Henry Holt and Sons, 2006)-advance black politics beyond its love affair with the icons of revolution and reflect on the night of radicalism with a sobriety reserved for the mourning after. Not primarily concerned with literary criticism, Glaude summons Baldwin and Morrison as stand-ins for a moral philosophical position that has yet to find its place in black political culture at-large: a position that can hold a sanguine appreciation for practice rooted in theory-or action rooted in intelligence-in tension with a view of tragedy informed by the brutalities African Americans have endured at what Peniel Joseph calls democracy's "jagged edges."
