This page intentionally left blankAn Introduction to Africana PhilosophyIn this book Lewis R. Gordon offers the prehensive treatmentof Africana philosophy, beginning with the emergence of an Africana(. African diasporic) consciousness in the Afro-Arabic world of the MiddleAges. He argues that much of modern Africana thought emerged out ofearly con?icts between Islam and Christianity that culminated in theexpulsion of the Moors from the Iberian Peninsula, and out of thesubsequent expansion of racism, enslavement, and colonialism which intheir turn stimulated re?ections on reason, liberation, and the meaning ofbeing human. His book takes the reader on a journey from Africa throughEurope, North and South America, the Caribbean, and back to Africa, ashe explores the challenges posed to our understanding of knowledge andfreedom today, and the response to them which can be found withinAfricana r. gordonis the Laura H.
