Rezensionen

Bogues uses a black-centred perspective to critique the American national view of itself as an 'empire of liberty' bringing freedom to the world. He seeks to take from the post-colonial world an alternative vision of freedom to that presented by the empire. This is an important supplement (and, in its way, corrective) to the vision presented by Hardt and Negri.

Bogues examines black thinkers from the 18th to the 20th centuries, dividing them into two distinct but related traditions, the 'heretics' who used the tools of Western scholarship to condemn racism and exclusion, and the 'prophets' who proclaimed the possibility of redemption in this world. I would rate this as perhaps the most important book about black political thought in the Western world yet written.
