Description
Published in 2024, this book presents the essays of trailblazing political scientist Martin L. Kilson on leading Black intellectuals of the twentieth century. Kilson examines the ideas and careers of several key thinkers, placing their intellectual odysseys in the context of the dynamics that shaped the Black intelligentsia more broadly.
