Sumario: | ""The Powers of Dignity uncovers and analyzes the distinctively Black political philosophy that Frederick Douglass forged from his experience as an enslaved and later nominally free black man. Because he unwaveringly viewed politics and democracy from the standpoint of a racialized black subject, his philosophy both challenges and potentially transforms the Anglo-Continental tradition of political thought"--Publisher's description. "Nick Bromell examines how Frederick Douglass forged a distinctively black political philosophy out of his experiences as an enslaved and later nominally free man in ways that challenge Anglo-Continental traditions of political thought."-- |
