These writers challenge the idea that high culture is 'white culture.' 330 $bThe coining of the term "intellectuals" in 1898 coincided with W.E.B. Du Bois's effort to disseminate values and ideals unbounded by the colour line. Du Bois's ideal of a "higher and broader and more varied human culture" is at the heart of a cosmopolitan tradition that this text identifies as a missing chapter in American literary and cultural history.;This text offers an historical perspective on "black intellectuals" as a social category, ranging over a century - from Frederick Douglass to Patricia Williams, from Du Bois, Pauline Hopkins, and Charles Chestnutt to Nella Larsen, Zora Neale Hurston, and Alain Locke. These writers challenge two durable assumptions: that high culture is "white culture"; and that racial uplift is the sole concern of the black intellectual. 606 $aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLanguage and culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aBlack people$xIntellectual life 607 $aUnited States$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLanguage and culture$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aBlack people$xIntellectual life. 676 $a810.9896073 700 $aPosnock$b Ross$01462635 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778182903321 996 $aColor & culture$93671687 997 $aUNINA
