African philosophy : an anthology / edited by Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze. - Malden, Mass. : Blackwell Publishers, 1998. - xiii, 494 p. ; 26cm. - Blackwell philosophy anthologies ; 5 .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Bringing together canonical philosophical texts from African, African-American, Afro-Caribbean, and Black European thinkers, this major new anthology is designed to serve both as a textbook and as the authoritative reference volume in Africana philosophical and cultural studies. The texts collected here also have enormous historical range: from traditional to modern, pre-colonial through colonial to post-colonial; and from the slave period through emancipation and the Civil Rights movements to the postmodern. In so doing, they represent a variety of cultural and ideological viewpoints, including secular, feminist, Christian, Islamic, and animist perspectives. --Back cover.
