Description: "Eddie S. Glaude Jr. makes a plea for black America to address its social problems by recourse to experience, and with an eye to the future rather than the fixed ideas and categories of the past. Central to Glaude's mission is a rehabilitation of philosopher John Dewey, whose ideas he applies to a renewal of African American politics."--BOOK JACKET.
