'...George Yancy has authored a thought-provoking book , that is a historic first. African-American Philosophers: 17 Conversations is the first book to present candid interviews with Black philosophers... Yancy's well-received book features the intellectual progeny of pioneering Black philosophers like Alain Locke.' -- Tribune, Philadelphia'...a great book, and a book to which no generic classification can do justice...What emerges most forcefully from these discussions is a solid appreciation of the deep cultural embeddedness of philosophical practice...an outstandingly enjoyable read.' -- Radical Philosophy'..a singularly important contribution to contemporary philosophy and black studies.' -- James G. Spader, Philadelphia New Observer'Yancy characterizes this work as an attempt to move the center of mainstream Euro-American philosophical conversations to include other,equally legitimate streams. The views of these philosophers with varying degrees of 'raced-centered concern' make for fascinating reading to those interested in both philosophy and race relations.' -- Booklist'Yancy has performed an invaluable service by compiling timely interviews with a diverse group of African American philosphers...Highly recommended for all collections and all academic philosophers.' -- Choice'George Yancy has provided a great service for African Americans and for the reading public of America in general. His book African-American Philosophers, has entered the world of letters at a very crucial time. It brings to light what one may call the beginnings of a revolution in philosophy and in academia in general. Although Yancy's book is written in a very laid back, personal and intimate style, it still represents a revolutionary moment in the way that it raises the consciousness of the reader...I found th is book to be quite enjoyable and informative. Once I began reading it, I found it hard to put down. I have no doubt that others will have a similar experience. Yancy's book is long over due and should be read by all persons who are wondering, 'where are we going from here?'.' -- Tribune'[The book's] vivid presenation of the tensions between minority status and its local allegiances on the one hand and the universal concerns of a humanistic discipline like philosophy strikingly illuminates features of the human condition that are of far-reaching significance.' -- Nicholas Rescher, University Professor of Philosophy, University of Pittsburgh and author of Pluralism'Yancy has performed an invaluable service by compiling timely interviews with a diverse group of African American philosophers . . . Highly recommended for all collections and all academic philosophers.' -- Choice'The interviewees span a wide range of contemporary thought and experience; Yancy is a skilled interviewer whose intelligent and probing questions add depth to his subjects' responses . . . . Recommended.' -- Library Journal Buch (fremdspr.) George Yancy Taschenbuch, Taylor and Francis, 12.11.1998, Taylor and Francis, 1998<
