review: Editorial Reviews Review "An especially timely book in its constant emphasis on the deep connection between the ethical/political and the metaphysical/epistemological spheres of philosophy and indeed 'real life.'" — Radical Philosophy Review of Books "There is absolutely no doubt that this book is a very useful addition to the corpus of work in Afro American—indeed, in American—philosophy. Locke's unpublished work on the question of value reveals a good deal about the ways in which American philosophers approached questions of value in the mid-century, before logical positivism had had its major impact on American thought; and his contributions to the issue of cultural pluralism are historically important and still influential." — Anthony Appiah , Cornell University "A challenging book. It forces the reader to cross interdisciplinary boundaries that are not often transgressed." — Ethics About the Author Leonard Harris is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Morgan State University.
