Zusammenfassung:Examining the work of Black Enlightenment authors, Surya Parekh reimagines the Enlightenment from the position of the Black subject
"Black Enlightenment examines how eighteenth-century Black thinkers engage with Enlightenment philosophy in ways distinct from more general narratives of freedom or oppression. Surya Parekh considers how these thinkers are situated within Enlightenment discourses of race, especially considering the complex textuality and politics of whiteness embedded in canonical thought. Parekh centers the ideas of Francis Williams (1697-1762), Ignatius Sancho (c. 1729-1780), and Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753-1784). By critically assessing the work of these thinkers and others, Parekh unpacks their relationship to an Enlightenment philosophy dependent on slavery and the construction of the Black subject. Parekh's work not only informs many active fields of scholarship around the Black Atlantic and the intellectual history of the Enlightenment, but also investigates a confrontation between a confrontation between philosophy and Black thought that still inhabits global movements today"--
