Theorizing Race in the Americas: Douglass, Sarmiento, Du Bois, and Vasconcelos
Hooker, Juliet (Associate Professor of Government and African and African Diaspora Studies, Associate Professor of Government and African and African Diaspora Studies, University of Texas at Austin)
Four prominent nineteenth and twentieth-century U. S. African-American and Latin American intellectuals - Frederick Douglass and Domingo F. Sarmiento, and W. E. B. Du Bois and Jose Vasconcelos - have never been read alongside each other. Although these thinkers addressed key political and philosophical issues in the Americas, political theorists have yet to compare their ideas about race. By juxtaposing these thinkers, Theorizing Race in the Americastakes up the opportunity to bring African-American and Latin American political thought into conversation, and in turn, maps a genealogy of racial theory throughout the hemisphere.
