It likewise challenges the conception of analogous objects of study across dominant ethnological disciplines (e.g., anthropology, history, and sociology) and the various forms of cultural, ethnic, and postcolonial studies. With special reference to the work of W. E. B. Du Bois, Chandler shows how a concern with the Negro is central to the social and historical problematization that underwrote twentieth-century explorations of what it means to exist as an historical entity referring to their antecedents in eighteenth-century thought and forward into their ongoing itinerary in the twenty-first century. For Du Bois, "the problem of the color line" coincided with the inception of a supposedly modern horizon. The very idea of the human and its avatars the idea of race and the idea of culture emerged together with the violent, hierarchical inscription of the so-called African or Negro into a horizon of commonness beyond all natal premises, a horizon that we can still situate with the term global. In ongoing struggles with the idea of historical sovereignty, we can see the working out of then new concatenations of social and historical forms of difference, as both projects of categorical differentiation and the irruption of originary revisions of ways of being. In a word, the world is no longer and has never been one. The world, if there is such from the inception of something like "the Negro as a problem for thought" could never be, only, one. The problem of the Negro in "America" is thus an exemplary instance of modern historicity in its most fundamental sense. It renders legible for critical practice the radical order of an ineluctable and irreversible complication at the heart of being its appearance as both life and history as the very mark of our epoch"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aAmerican philosophy. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 606 $aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aRace$xPhilosophy 606 $aRace$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aRace$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aRace$xSocial aspects 676 $a305.8960730092 700 $aChandler$b Nahum Dimitri$01016142 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787643903321 996 $aX-the problem of the Negro as a problem for thought$93713108 997 $aUNINA
