Race Questions, Provincialism, and Other American Problems

More about the book

Focusing on the insights of philosopher Josiah Royce, the book explores the enduring significance of race relations and community in the 20th century and beyond. Royce, along with his student W. E. B. Du Bois, identified the "color line" as a central issue of their time, a concern that remains relevant today despite historical progress. The work highlights how Royce's ideas, often overlooked in mainstream philosophy, have shaped the thoughts and actions of leaders striving to combat various forms of prejudice.
