Another white Man's Burden by Tommy J Curry

reminds philosophers that racism has been part of the building blocks of American thought for centuries, and that this must be recognized and addressed in order for its proclamations of democracy, community, and social problems to have real meaning.

"…everything that goes into making Another white Man's Burden an unlikely inspiration for widespread discussion of Royce also makes it a crucial new work of scholarship for American Philosophy broadly construed" — The Pluralist

"Not only will this book prove to be informative for anyone concerned with American philosophy, philosophy of race or colonialist studies but, as witnessed throughout the long career of Bauman, it questions and provides a critical alternative to the status quo, while seeking to transcend and transform existing realities." — Eidos

"By placing Royce on the side of empire, Curry challenges the conventional understanding of Royce's philosophy. This book is a solid example of how to read the canon critically in order to shed light on discourse—in this case mistaken discourse—of intellectual predecessors. Curry's contribution will be of great interest to scholars of Royce and to those working in African American studies, American intellectual history, American philosophy, philosophy of race, and political philosophy." — CHOICE

"Curry has paid attention to the odd and icky bits of Royce, tracking down the offhand cultural references, the unfamiliar names, and historical contexts. A solid analysis of early twentieth-century conceptions of race and colonialism reveals an unseemly picture before our contemporary eyes. Curry is right; we shouldn't ignore or soft-pedal this." — Lee A. McBride III, The College of Wooster
