Description
Other title:Race, Culture, and the Education of African American Adults. Second Edition
Summary:This book fills a void in the scholarly treatment of Alain Locke by providing the reader with a comprehensive view of Locke's vision of mass, and adult, education as instruments for social change. It is representative of the remarkable optimistic manifesto of 1925 in which the "New Negro," by virtue of a cosmopolitan education emphasizing value pluralism, would become a full participant in American culture. This text delineates Locke's crucial contribution to the philosophy of adult education and provides insights into how he expected others to use his aesthetic, literary, and anthropological theories as instruments for social and political transformation.
